Disable Tab Detach 2: A Firefox Add-on
"Disable Tab Detach 2" is a Firefox extension designed to prevent accidental tab detaching. If a tab is mistakenly detached from the window, the add-on instantly restores it to its original position. This functional tool is a fork from Disable Tab Detach. Despite being a simple solution, it enhances user experience by preventing tab displacement. It includes features to temporarily disable and handle pinned tabs effectively, even if several tabs are highlighted. To run in private windows, the add-on should be allowed explicitly.

The only thing that bothers me is that the icon for when it is enabled is not transparent like the icon for when it is disabled. Other that it works really great.
