The fact that this only happens on macOS is... smelly. Markus, I don't suppose you have any idea off-hand what is causing the flicker here? It's a little tricky to debug on the frontend side, but given it's platform-specific I'm pretty suspicious it's a platform issue at heart.

Summary: Opening in <time left> text flickers on Downloads Panel → [macOS] Opening in <time left> text flickers on Downloads Panel

I agree it's probably a platform issue. Let's move it to Web Painting.

I can't reproduce this on my machine.

Component: Downloads Panel → Web Painting
Flags: needinfo?(mstange.moz)
Product: Firefox → Core

The product::component has been changed since the backlog priority was decided, so we're resetting it.
