I noticed recently with FF80.0.1 (64-bit) on W10, that when a page is loading there is a 1-2 second delay on page icon loading with default egg timer shape before proper page icon loads. Done numerous antivirus scans / SSD checks / optimise etc - no change. Seems to be a page loading bug of the appropriate icon for that page.

This egg timer icon is the page loading indicator in the reduced motion mode. You've manually set up the reduced motion mode, so "moving dots" animation changed into the egg timer (hourglass).

It's not a bug nor a virus, but your choice.

Thanks for that - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion then describes how to fix it. I never set the new default to "animation - off" - so it was obviously a W10 update effect. Hence Settings > Ease of Access > Display > Show animations in Windows is to be turned on. As I said I never turned it off ! But thanks again. cheers J
