I made a few posts on the subreddit about it, I saw numerous others with the same complaint - the motion is unnecessary and distracting. It's a common enough opinion that surely an about:config preference could warrant being tossed in.
I ended up moving browsers, and as a consequence, all web projects I build will have first-class support for my browser of choice, with Firefox/Gecko testing later on when time allows. As a consequence of that, the web performs worse in Firefox.
I'll be back, as soon as the next UI revolution happens, but until then competitors have free-reign to attempt to permanently win me over.
