"Loading" favicon missing?
Maybe this is obvious and I just don't know the proper terms to find a solution, but I've recently lost the little loading icon that spins in the left hand corner of a tab when you load a site (see gif). No idea what happened to it, but I've tried refreshing and reinstalling to no avail. Yesterday I reinstalled Windows 10 on my machine (not because of this) and it worked correctly until I booted up this morning and it's switched back to that weird icon. Any ideas how I might fix it? Could something like a windows update have messed it up? I miss that little spinney icon more than I would have expected.

Looks like you have enabled the preferred motion feature as in that case the tab loading indicator is replaced with an hourglass.
Firefox 63+ has support for "@media (prefers-reduced-motion)" to honor system settings to minimize the amount of non-essential motion. You can create a new Number pref named ui.prefersReducedMotion on the about:config page to show or block some animations.
- in Firefox 78+ this includes the location bar breakout
- in Firefox 80+ this replaces the tab loading indicator with an hourglass
- set the value to 1 if you want to block animations
ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1 - set its value to 0 if you want to see animations
ui.prefersReducedMotion = 0
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.

Sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed all the notifications. This solution worked perfectly! Thank you. No idea how I enabled that feature to begin with, but it's back to normal now!
Firefox might pick this up from the OS like when you disable animations in Windows.
