Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050630 Firefox/1.0+

When going to different panels in the options dialog, it was shown on a video
(http://www.bengoodger.com/software/mb/options/prefwindowv/PrefwindowV2.wmv)
that the options dialog would fade into the different panels.  This is not the
case on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050630
Firefox/1.0+.  Was this effect taken out earlier?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up Deer Park
2. go to Tools -> Options...
3. Flip through the different panels and notice that there is no fading effect

Actual Results:  
Options dialog panels did not fade in.

Expected Results:  
Options dialog panels should have faded in.

Default theme
Default extensions (DOM Inspector and Reporter)

There is a kind of "fade in" effect when I set browser.preferences.animateFadeIn
to true.

See bug 284414 comment 3

It seems that the setting mentioned in comment 1 isnt intended for windows and
thus is off by defaut on windows.

Therefore this is probably invalid as stated.

I'm assuming they turned it off by default as it would become annoying.

This options is turned off by default in Windows. INVALID.
