User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

Stumbled onto this page here:

https://www.torrossa.com/en/resources/an/4633176

Actual results:

The page animates loading the GDPR alert, and if I hit escape to kill it, animates unloading the GDPR alert.

Expected results:

No @#$% animation.

There are a number of add-ons to block the GDPR alerts. But the add-ons require a lot of browser info. Some list "Access your data for all websites." A built-in option to deanimate or block these alerts may be useful...

(Of course, if people have trouble with animation, we may have trouble with about:preferences too.)

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Add-ons Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
