High CPU usage from blinking navbar icons

[ibis85]

A user reported the following:

The flashing "Information" and "Options" icons in the top right take up 10-30% CPU usage when the tab is focused, occasionally setting off my laptop's fans. (Both clicking them and switching to another tab relieve it.) Could you switch to a less intensive way of marking them?

I'm using Firefox 78.3.0 ESR on Debian. The usage doesn't show up in about:performance, but it does show up as a process called "GPU Process" in gnome-system-monitor and "firefox-esr [...] gpu" in htop.

Haven't reproduced it myself with MacOS/Chrome. Just wanted to submit their report here.

Those are native CSS animations and are supposed to be completely unnoticeable in performance. It's either an issue with your browser or the GPU drivers on your laptop.
