I have a problem with Firefox Beta 52. It doesn't happen in Firefox ESR 45. Sometimes when I open panel with site info, I want to close it as fast as possible. For that purpose, I click on doorhanger icon again as fast as possible. Quite often the panel changes its state from "open" to "open" and runs the distracting animation. It's especially bad, because browser performs in-your-face action "open panel with site info" while I'm trying to close the panel. It didn't happen on Firefox ESR 45. It happens unpredictably, however, I noticed one specific scenario when it happens 1. Open https://gauntface.github.io/simple-push-demo/ 2. Click on doorhanger icon in location bar, then (after 0.5s) click it again Result: after first click the panel with site info appears, after second click it disappears and appears again, with distracting animation Expected: shouldn't perform this animation

I think this is an extreme case, the user cannot get the want information within 0.5 seconds, and you can close it by clicking somewhere else instead of clicking the icon again.

Almost every popup menu in Firefox is closed by clicking on the same place. Clicking in other place may be dangerous, because it may trigger navigation in current tab or loading of background tab. What do you suggest, spend some time every time I click on popup menus, looking for a safe place outside of popup to click there for closing the popup? Please respond (with specifying whether it's your own opinion or Mozilla's opinion). My opinion is that it's a constant time loss.

In my view, quick in-place clicks are more risky, pop-up may not be underneath but overrides or centered on it, and then it may have some options or buttons to be displayed and mistakenly clicked. although this does not apply to doorhanger notifications design.

What you've described doesn't apply to pop-ups in Firefox at all, at least I don't remember any, and that's why my finger memory tells me that the safest and fastest way to close pop-up is to click on the same place. Anyway, thanks for marking it "NEW".

Interesting, I'm not sure why that patch caused this behavior, but it would probably require some digging to find the true cause. Might even be a platform issue. I also agree with YF that this is really an edge case, so I don't think we'll look into this anytime soon.
