It seems that whenever Firefox cannot load a websites favicon it will present you an annoying bouncy grey globe. Is it possible to change this default favicon to a static one?

Can't see any gray globe on your screenshot. It's just a page loading indicator.

You can possibly block non-essential animations.

Firefox 63+ has support for "@media (prefers-reduced-motion)" to honor system settings to minimize the amount of non-essential motion. You can create a new Number pref named ui.prefersReducedMotion on the about:config page to show (0) or block (1) some animations.

  • in Firefox 78+ this includes the location bar breakout
  • in Firefox 80+ this replaces the tab loading indicator with an hourglass
  • set the value to 1 if you want to block

animations
ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1

  • set its value to 0 if you want to see animations
    ui.prefersReducedMotion = 0

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
