How to disable the Reload/Stop button animation?
Every time a link is clicked or the page is refreshed, the Reload/Stop button plays an animation of the reload arrow morphing into an X and then back into a reload arrow.
This is very distracting. How can the user disable this animation?
Help guides from 2017 say to change the following about:config prefs: browser.stopReloadAnimation.enabled toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled But these do not exist anymore.

There is a new preference to reduce animations. It doesn't prevent the Reload button from switching to Stop during loading, but there is less bounciness, if that's a word. (This overrides the system-level setting regarding reduced motion for purposes of what happens in Firefox.)
(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 the new preference name
ui.prefersReducedMotion
If this preference was already created and shows a value of 0, skip to step (4).
(3) On the bar with the bolded preference name, click the radio button next to Number and click the + button to add the preference. Then Firefox should display the new value.
(4) Set the value to 1 (double-click to edit if necessary) and click the blue checkmark button to save the change.

Try to add ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1.

The chosen solution fixes the problem.
(Make sure it's Number = 1 and not Boolean = true.)
Alternatively you can remove the Reload/Stop button from the bar via the ☰ → "Customize..." button, and only use the Reload button in the right-click menu if you ever need it. Or hit F5.
