1140703 - settings for tabs opening and closing animations inconsistency

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Waterfox/36.0
Build ID: 20150228040126

Steps to reproduce:

In about:config, browser.tabs.animate is not sufficient to control opening an closing tabs animations.
The toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll setting also has to be modified.

I suspect there are a lot of interactions between these two, which make them almost useless when used alone.



Actual results:

browser.tabs.animate    toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll    tab opening    tab closing    tabs scrolling    opening a tab scrolls it into view
true                    true                              animated       animated       smooth            yes
true                    false                             instant        animated       normal            no
false                   true                              animated       instant        smooth            yes
false                   false                             instant        instant        normal            no



Expected results:

browser.tabs.animate    toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll    tab opening    tab closing    tabs scrolling    opening a tab scrolls it into view
true                    true                              animated       animated       smooth            yes
true                    false                             animated       animated       normal            yes
false                   true                              instant        instant        smooth            yes
false                   false                             instant        instant        normal            yes

Sorry for the formatting. My tables columns are too wide. Please copy and paste into a text editor with a monospace font to see correctly.
