Tabs Switching

Hello,

I have an issue where, when I switch tabs with Ctrl+Tab, my mouse cursor accidentally triggers something if it happens to be in the center. This is very annoying. I tried Googling how to turn off tab visualization through the config, but it hasn't worked so far. 

   * browser.ctrlTab.previews
  • browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
  • browser.tabs.animate
  • toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled

So now, the only option I see is to turn off Recent Tabs, but then the browser becomes unusable. I also tried the same on a new clean user profile and even on new Mozilla-based browsers, but still nothing. It would be ideal to make the cursor inactive while switching tabs, like it is in Arc Browser and probably many others. But I would be happy enough to just turn off tab switching visualization.

I see a tooltip for the tab. Is that what you see, or does your mouse "click" a tab thumbnail?

In case it might be at all useful, I use that configuration and I have an add-on that switches with a custom keyboard shortcut and/or shows a list of recent tabs (title & URL, no thumbnail):
