After Bug 1971421, we discovered that a shared element transition might be possible, but not with the current state of how tab thumbnails are rendered and fetched from storage.

As part of this spike:

  • Investigate if it's possible to share the bitmap data between the Bitmap in the ThumbnailImage within the tab items and the Thumbnail used to perform the shared element transition.
  • If indeed possible, determine the level of effort to introduce this logic.
  • Determine the final recommendation for proceeding with the main work ticket.
    • Whether Bug 1971415 is possible, not whether we should proceed with landing a solution for the animation. There will undoubtedly be some technical conversations during that ticket, so let's defer the go/no-go on the final tech implementation until Bug 1971415 is in-progress.

As a jumping off point, rebase the patch generated from the original spike: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D258625
