Cannot disable fullscreen animation (F11)

Hi, I'd like to disable that annoying animation when going to fullscreen (by hitting F11). Supposedly, setting the following should work:

Go to about:config

Set: full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter 0 0 full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave 0 0 full-screen-api.transition.timeout 0 full-screen-api.warning.delay 0 full-screen-api.warning.timeout 0

Restart

However, this does not have any effect in Firefox 94.0 on Ubuntu. Is this a bug/regression? Or is there some other way to disable the animation?

PS.: I also have toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled = false, to no effect as well.

See:

Note that toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled isn't supported for quite some time and you can reset this pref (click the trashcan).

@cor-el

This option is missing from my about:config. Searching for "motion" brings up only these options:

device.sensors.motion.enabled false general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.continuousMotionMaxDeltaMS 120 general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.motionBeginSpringConstant 1250 layout.css.motion-path-ray.enabled false layout.css.motion-path.enabled false

I'm on FF 100.0.1 64-bit.

You can paste ui.prefersReducedMotion in the search bar on the about:config page and create a new Number pref by clicking the '+'. Set its value to '1' by double-clicking thprefersReducedMotionref line and click the OK button to confirm the change.
