RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1771017

Details

Steps to reproduce:

Start Firefox in Fedora.

Set layout.frame_rate to 1 so that 1. animations won't be as smooth/painful, and 2. scrolling webpages which use non-scrolling elements won't usually be a migraine trigger, and 3. scrolling about:preferences and about:addons won't be a migraine trigger.

Actual results:

It's all too smooth. It doesn't pause 1 second between each change.

Expected results:

It should pause 1 second between each change, that's usually enough to avoid the migraines.

This may be a duplicate of bug 1771017, but it's a very different use case.

Setting widget.wayland.vsync.enabled to false does not allow lower frame rates, so not a duplicate.

Component: Untriaged → Disability Access
OS: Unspecified → Linux
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64

Changing the component to graphics. I think that is the module that would need the fix.

Also, this isn't an accessibility feature per se although I understand this might come in handy.

Component: Disability Access → Graphics
Product: Firefox → Core

Dupe of bug 1771017.
