Fullscreen Transition Animation Differs Between Firefox on macOS and Windows: Can I Apply the Windows Fade Effect on Mac?
Hello,
I am writing to inquire about the difference in the fullscreen video transition animation style between Firefox on Windows and macOS.
Observed Difference:
- Windows: Uses a smooth fade-in/fade-out animation when entering and exiting fullscreen, which provides a polished user experience.
- macOS: The transition is present, but it lacks the distinct Windows-style fade effect and feels less smooth or different in style compared to the Windows version.
Settings Checked:
- I have confirmed that the about:config preferences full-screen-api.transition.duration.enter and full-screen-api.transition.duration.leave are both set to 200 200. These settings did not enable the identical Windows fade animation on macOS.
Core Question:
- Is there any current method (e.g., through advanced settings, flags, or extensions) for a user to apply the exact same smooth fade-in/fade-out fullscreen transition animation seen on Windows to Firefox for macOS?
- If there is no current way, is this difference due to limitations with the macOS graphical environment, or is there a plan to unify the animation style in future updates?
