6.5 - Sidebar tabs hover title preview is not able to be disabled.

What happened?

Referencing the popup of the title when hovering over a tab: https://imgur.com/vYucmVD

The delay before it appears is way too short and it seemingly does not go away until you click elsewhere which is incredibly annoying. I do not need to see these titles and should be able to disable it but all the settings I have checked have no effect.

browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails - false - This functions at least and doesn't preview the entirety of the tab, but the title text still exists.
browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled - false - This functions when tabs are horizontal, as expected by the name, but does not apply to sidebar nor does a similarly named setting seem to exist.
browser.sidebar.hoverTabPreviewDelayMs - 50000 - Despite setting this to what should be 50 seconds, the title text still appears even on a <1 second mouseover when moving to my other monitor.

No other sidebar settings seemed relevant. Maybe a feature request but feels like this should be disable with browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

I also came here to complain about this new behaviour!

Waterfox 6.5.0 (64-bit) on macOS.

After reading your notes, I turned off browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails which made things suck slightly less thanks.

browser.sidebar.hoverTabPreviewDelayMs doesn't seem to do anything for me either. The tab title pops out and hangs around like a bad smell no matter how short a time the mouse pointer is over the tab.

Also went looking for a place to report this and found it already reported! So +1. It's a minor annoyance, but because you run into it anytime you switch sidebar tabs, it wears on you very quickly. I don't mind how quickly the previews appear if they also would disappear just as quickly on mouse out instead of staying until you click elsewhere.
