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.prefersReducedMotion and set the value to 0. Afterwards that Firefox profile should use animations even if they are disabled on OS. Works on Windows at least.
