I disable animations either through Gnome’s accessibility setting or KDE’s slider to instant. I find that Gnome’s animations are just too slow by default and KDE’s tend to be janky. So while I want my window manager to have instant animations, I don’t need my applications to do so.
Is it possible to disable the animations from the DE’s settings but to keep them like normal in Firefox? Example: when I press ctrl+t it’s OK if the new tab has an animation when it’s created in the browser’s UI.
Go to about:config and create a new number pref with name
ui.prefersReducedMotionand set the value to0. Afterwards that Firefox profile should use animations even if they are disabled on OS. Works on Windows at least.My hero. That also works on Linux. Thank you!
Sidepoint: In Gnome if I’m using Xorg the DE has instant animations but Firefox has normal ones. Only in Gnome Wayland does that effect propagate to the browser itself. Unsure about KDE Xorg.
