Not working in Waterfox 56.2.8

[MarjaE2]

Hi,

I have a strobe sensitivity and visual motion sensitivity. I currently use Waterfox because I haven't been able to adequately block the Firefox Quantum throbbers, and because I lost my last usable Firefox installation in a Nightly accident.

I use a number of other tools to try to protect against animation, sticky elements, etc.

Sample Page: https://www.freepress.net/

If I mouse over any of the topic sections there (Net Neutrality, Future of Journalism, etc.) I get punched with animation as images move down and to the right:

Another site: https://www.consumerreports.org/health-insurance/aca-health-insurance-cost/

Fails to block animated "smooth" scrolling on page up.

In the meantime you can use this script https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/19654-animalquery/code loaded in https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/violentmonkey/ It's experimental and not very stable, but seems to work on these pages in Waterfox 56.2.8 and .9.

@MarjaE2 can you recall which version of the extension was affected?

Version 1.1.8 appears better, to me, with home-built Waterfox Classic 2019.12 (20191210201058) on FreeBSD-CURRENT.

Tested:

The animated scroll up at https://www.consumerreports.org/health-insurance/aca-health-insurance-cost/ occurs with Firefox 71.0 (not only with Waterfox Classic). A suggested workaround:

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1486332#c9

Version 1.1.8. On Freepress.net, scroll down to the list of topics. There's a section titled "Free & Open Internet" with a picture. Mouse over the picture. That jumps down and to the right on my end.

Thanks,

jumps down and to the right

The same here, but it's not specific to Waterfox Classic. There's the same jump with Firefox 71.0.

With both browsers:

• No Transition does successfully stop the smoothing.

@MarjaE2 add Togglific.

For the remaining animations, I wonder whether uBlock Origin might help. https://redd.it/efp2oy
