Annoying ping-pong ball

[kluless]

Is there any way to get rid of that annoying ping-pong ball when loading tabs?

[Reflective]

Copy/paste into the location bar and hit Enter: about:config?filter=toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled Toggle it to false

If you get a warning, confirm that you'll be careful so that you can proceed.

That didn't work, it's still there

There's a list of other animations which you could try disabling in the same way in this article: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/06/how-t ... ox-photon/

Try this:

Code: Select all

/* Firefox userChrome.css */

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

.tab-throbber { visibility: hidden !important; }

.tab-throbber { visibility: hidden !important; }

That worked, thanks

And if you want to remove it completely use:

Code: Select all

.tab-throbber {display: none !important; }

In my version the tab text doesn't move after loading.

[FFman]

That's odd, mine moves to the left taking up the space where the ping pong was.

[morat]

That's correct behavior.

What is the difference between visibility:hidden and display:none?

Actually it appears to remove the favicon as well.
When Amazon is loaded the favicon normally appears.
So I think I prefer it with the ping pong!!

[kluless]

The favicon does still appear with the 'hidden' version...

[morat]

The favicon appears for me with FFman's version if the site has a favicon.

Yeah, you're right, I should have waited a bit longer for it to finish loading, it was a bit slow!
