Is it possible to disable animations in the DE but have them enabled in Firefox? (lemmy.ml)

I disable animations either through Gnome's accessibility setting or KDE's slider to instant. I find that Gnome's animations are just too slow by default and KDE's tend to be janky. So while I want my window manager to have instant animations, I don't need my applications to do so.

Is it possible to disable the animations from the DE's settings but to keep them like normal in Firefox? Example: when I press ctrl+t it's OK if the new tab has an animation when it's created in the browser's UI.

Sidepoint: In Gnome if I'm using Xorg the DE has instant animations but Firefox has normal ones. Only in Gnome Wayland does that effect propagate to the browser itself. Unsure about KDE Xorg.
