The window-opening animation might be a factor (applies across all of macOS).

You can disable it for all windows in all applications using a terminal command:

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO

You might need to restart apps to see this change.

Oh that's very nice. In iOS 7 we had a jailbreak tweak called NoSlowAnimations[0]. It was amazing how much a simple thing increased the perceived speed and responsiveness of the OS.

You can completely disable animations in accessibility settings.

Do you mean "Reduce Motion" under Display?

There is still a slow cross fade animation.

So, an OS setting makes FF look bad (...in comparison to the OS-integrated browser). Where have I seen that?

That is very handy preference, thank you for that!
