I had long thought that this was due to really bad optimization on about:addons, but upon further review, it seems to be a choice to be as slow as it is.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install a few addons
  2. Navigate to about:addons
  3. Move mouse cursor vertically over the installed addons quickly, watching the border of each addon card

What happens:

The dark colored border fails to appear much of the time, only appearing if the user dwells over a card for a period.

This is a bad experience as it feels slow and makes Firefox look needlessly slow in a non-webpage part of the UI that is easy to control and ought to feel snappy.

Expected result:

I should always see the dark border upon hover over a card, with a speed that doesn't make Firefox feel slow.

We'll wait on ux feedback for this.
