You can possibly block non-essential animations. 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 <b>ui.prefersReducedMotion</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to show (0) or block (1) 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<br>ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1 * set its value to 0 if you want to see animations<br>ui.prefersReducedMotion = 0 See also: *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion ---- You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
