Rest the pointer on an unpinned tab for 700 ms and a small reload glyph fades in at its right edge; clicking it reloads that tab without selecting it. Off by default behind floorp.tabs.hoverReload.enabled; flips live (the pref is mirrored onto a root attribute the CSS keys off, and glyphs stay injected but invisible while disabled). The delay is a JS timer stamping [floorp-show-refresh] rather than a CSS transition-delay: pointer-events cannot be delayed in CSS, so a pure-CSS version would leave an invisible but clickable button at the tab's right edge during the wait, turning stray clicks into surprise reloads. Reload clicks swallow mousedown so they never switch tabs. Self-contained feature dir (auto-discovered); styles ship with the feature and use doubled-id specificity to outrank Lepton's id-level tab rules without a blanket !important.

Part of the final derp-fork contribution batch (#2569). Off by default behind
floorp.tabs.hoverReload.enabled— hover-reload is a taste thing, not for everyone; it flips live without a restart.Rest the pointer on an unpinned tab for 700 ms and a small reload glyph fades in at its right edge; clicking it reloads that tab without selecting it (mousedown is swallowed — tabs select on mousedown). The glyph has no painted background: a backdrop blur alone blanks any lettering beneath it, so it matches hovered/selected/plain surfaces by construction.
Why a JS timer instead of CSS
transition-delay: pointer-events cannot be delayed in CSS, so a pure-CSS version leaves an invisible but clickable button at the tab's right edge during the wait — stray right-edge clicks became surprise reloads.Self-contained feature dir (auto-discovered), styles ship with the feature; the selectors use doubled-id specificity (
#tabbrowser-tabs#tabbrowser-tabs) to outrank Lepton's id-level tab rules without escalating everything to!important. Daily-driven in derp on macOS/FF152; extraction renamed fork tokens and trimmed fork-only hover surfaces.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
