Bug 498272 added a hardcoded 200ms delay before the Ctrl+Tab recent tabs panel opens, so that a quick Ctrl+Tab press flips straight back to the most recently used tab without flashing the UI. The delay lives in ctrlTab.open() in browser/components/tabbrowser/content/browser-ctrlTab.js.

Users have asked for the delay to be adjustable, e.g. to show the panel sooner (or immediately), or to wait longer before it appears.

Proposal: add a pref, e.g. browser.ctrlTab.openDelayMs, defaulting to the existing value of 200, that ctrlTab.open() reads instead of the hardcoded value.
