Bug 1453080 seems sufficiently troublesome enough that I think it makes sense to hold off on riding the trains for macOS for now. But I think Windows and Linux should be okay.

I'm aware that I could have made that a single conditional, but I thought this would be more readable.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:

Should provide a tab switch performance boost for our Desktop users on Windows and Linux when they're using the mouse to select tabs (since we're pre-emptively rendering tabs when hovering them).

[Affects Firefox for Android]:

No.

[Suggested wording]:

Faster tab switching in the majority of cases for our Windows and Linux users.

Better replace `XP_LINUX` with `MOZ_WIDGET_GTK` unless you intentionally want to exclude Tier3 platforms like DragonFly, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris.
