Firefox/Projects/Animation priorities

Summary

The purpose of this sprint is to design and develop three key areas that we feel Firefox would benefit from animation:

• Tab tearoff
• Text search on page
• Movement of toolbar items within rows (UI elements, bookmarks, tabs)

Introduction

Animation in browsers can have many benefits for interaction if used effectively. It can:

• Making browsing feel faster
• Adding visual affordances to makes tasks more understandable
• Making the browser and tasks more visually appealing
