I like new animation but why we don't want a option to disable it? We
have browser.tabs.animate for enable/disable open/close tab animation. I
ask because I think it will be frequent question in our local support
forum after FF 8 release.

Indeed. I've already written up most of my thoughts here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675444#c5

Affected behavior aside, it would be nice to disable just the drag
animation, 'cause it's damned annoying.

Preventing tabs from resizing, when a tab was closed, made dealing with
tabs much easier. This just replaces it with an equally painful annoyance.

The cost of providing this option is not free. There is additional code
complexity overhead, test coverage overhead, and developer mindshare
overhead (you have to be aware of more things that could break).

It's actually quite easy to disable the tab reorder animation, if the
only thing you want is disable the tab animation.
Just add this to your userChrome.css file:
.tabbrowser-tabs[drag=detach] > .tabbrowser-tab[dragged]:not(:only-child) {
-moz-transition: max-width 0ms ease-out !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tabs[drag=move] > .tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([dragged]) {
-moz-transition: -moz-transform 0ms ease-out !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tabs[drag=finish] > .tabbrowser-tab[dragged][fadein] {
-moz-transition: -moz-transform 0ms ease-out !important;
}

You can easily edit that file, by using an extension like Chromedit Plus.

Well while I would argue against "easy" without having already provided
the CSS to do it, even I, as a dev, would have foundit hard(er) to write
CSS to disable it.

But thanks (for those of "you" who want to)
