How do I disable the fullscreen animation?
Okay, I realize that this question has been asked before. I've tried to disable the toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled and also browser.fullscreen.animate.
Nothing that I've seen on different forums work, I just want to get rid of this annoying fullscreen animation on youtube. It is driving me insane that it slowly fades to black before entering fullscreen.

Hi, there's a preference for the animation of fullscreen that pages use (through the Fullscreen API):
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste full-s and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter preference to display an editing field, and change the value to 0 0 (zero space zero) then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
(4) Repeat with the full-screen-api.transition-duration.exit preference
Success?
If things go haywire, use the left-pointing arrow at the far end of each row to reset to the default value.

Thank you so much! You're a life saver!
I can live with all of the other animations the browser has, but the fullscreen exit and enter animation was just a bit too much for my liking.
Glad to hear that worked. Yes, I find it slows things down unnecessarily and I prefer fast over pretty.
