User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build ID: 20180315232954 Steps to reproduce: Load any website in a tab, causing the loading throbber to appear as the tab's icon. Actual results: The intermittent motion of the throbber is painful, making Firefox impossible to use for users who are sensitive to changes in visual motion. Expected results: While moving, the throbber should move continuously, rather than intermittently.

I've been using userChrome.css to get around this, but that's not a realistic solution for most affected users, especially if there are plans to further reduce accessibility customization options.

Just to be completely clear, I'm talking about the loading indicators that wobble back and forth as the page is loading: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/shared/tabbrowser/tab-loading.png

(In reply to Stuart Cook from comment #0) > While moving, the throbber should move continuously, rather than > intermittently. Can we make this animation more continuous?
Also, the userChrome.css fix doesn't work while Firefox is starting. A colored indicator would be best, but even rotating animation should be better than the constantly slowing down and speeding up animation.

Also adding Eric, since he originally designed the animation.
