The window-opening animation might be a factor (applies across all of macOS).

You can disable it for all windows in all applications using a terminal command:

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO
You might need to restart apps to see this change.

Oh that's very nice. In iOS 7 we had a jailbreak tweak called NoSlowAnimations[0]. It was amazing how much a simple thing increased the perceived speed and responsiveness of the OS.

You can completely disable animations in accessibility settings.

Do you mean "Reduce Motion" under Display?

Don't have an iphone handy but I think so. There are lots of options there to explore, there's also one to increase contrast and another to make buttons more evident. There's some cool stuff there in accessibility options

Ah, when "Mac" was mentioned I assume we were talking about MacOS, not iOS.

There is still a slow cross fade animation.

Brilliant! It works. Thank you so much!

So, an OS setting makes FF look bad (...in comparison to the OS-integrated browser). Where have I seen that?

That is very handy preference, thank you for that!
