Looks like they got rid of them again...

Man, I don't know what is taking them so long with this small feature. Chrome's had it for ages. Hell the initial implementation they had before they first backed it out was working fine for me.

And its not even just a visual issue, because reordering the tabs without the animations is more finicky then with. just compare re-ordering tabs in chrome vs firefox :(

Yep. A lot of people just call it eye candy, but I find re-ordering tabs a much better experience when the tabs are moving into place while dragging instead of watching the little arrow jump between tabs. I honestly didn't care for the arrow method when Firefox first got native tab re-ordering (was that like version 1.5?), but I figured they would've improved on it long before now.

That being said, while the tab re-ordering and detach animations always worked great for me, I've tried it on older computers and it wasn't so great. I can't imagine how bad it is/was on a netbook.

It definitely is kind of ridiculous how much they have performance issues with simple animations. On my laptop (2.53ghz i5, intel graphics) even the regular open/close animations are laggy. I had never tried the re-ordering animations on my laptop though. On my gaming desktop its pretty much as smooth as chrome, but the hardware on my laptop should certainly be able to handle smooth animations.

So they really can make firefox uglier if they try.

It's just a quick skin of IE10, with Firefox flavor. Not even close to what final design will look like. The main purpose of it was to outline what they are going to do with transitions.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
