1447153 - Add a Nightly-only run-time pref to disable tab throbbers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

This is to make it easier to diagnose things like bug 1406414, bug 1439511 and bug 1428704.

This is Nightly only because this is only for testing. This configuration should never reach release.

Mike, for bug 1659583 I'm wondering if we could just remove this now that we support a static throbber anyway, with the reduced motion pref? If not, that's fine but then we need to figure out how to have the thing not behind an %ifdef NIGHTLY_BUILD.

Yeah, I'm absolutely fine removing this for now.
