1472310 - Firefox does not block "toaster" pain/animation.

Status: NEW

(Core :: CSS Transitions and Animations, enhancement)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180605171542

Steps to reproduce:

I visited this page:

Actual results:

I got punched with a lot of pain, and got a migraine from this.


Expected results:

I should not have gotten punched in the face. Firefox should block pain/animation which punches users with pain.

Or at least allow users to block pain/animation.

Could you please attach a screen capture with the issue so I can see exactly what are you referring to?

Comment 2

[MarjaE]

Not at the moment. If I get hit again, I can do a screen shot, but I can't do video, and I can't do video while getting hit by the animation.

I will close this issue with the Status: Resolved as incomplete.
Please feel free to reopen if the error occurs in a current Firefox version and attach a screenshot.
Thanks

It wasn't labelled "toaster," but a similar pop-up got through today.

Attachment: Similar pop-up, though its css code doesn't call it a to "toaster"

Hi,
I retested this on Mac OS X 10.12 with FF Nightly 63.0a1(2018-08-07) and I can see the toaster add. Please see the attached print screen with the actual result. 
I also tested with Chrome browser and the result is the same. 
In my opinion, this is the expected behavior, the pop up should be displayed. 
I think you can use the "Adblock Plus" add-on to block the pop-ups. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=search

I don't know about Adblock Plus, but uBlock Origin does not block this. My understanding is that AdBlock Plus authorizes certain ads, which makes it unreliable for users who need to block ads for medical reasons.

I think tools for users to protect ourselves against migraine triggers should be a higher priority than tools for web designers to hit users with migraine triggers.

I used Adblock Plus and the pop-up was blocked, please give it a try and see how it works for you.
Also about the issue that is described in this bug report, it sounds like an enhancement for me, so I will mark it accordingly.

I'm not sure if we'd ever consider some kind of toggle to skip all animations on the web for users that prefer reduced motion, but if we do, it'll certainly not be from the Firefox :: General component. I'll move to CSS :: Transitions and Animations for now.
