when the message bar is displayed or clicked away, for example because of a missing plugin or a site wanting to open a popup window, the rest of the window is scrolled smoothly, even if the option 'preferences', 'advanced', 'general', 'use smooth scrolling' is not checked.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit preferences and uncheck the option 'advanced', 'general', 'use smooth scrolling'
2. go to a site requiring a plugin you don't have or trying to open a popup.
3. click the message bar away
Actual Results:  
when the message bar is displayed and clicked away it appears and disappears gradually while the rest of the main window is scrolled smoothly.


Expected Results:  
when the message bar is displayed and clicked away it should disappear at once and the rest of the main window should be scrolled at once.
