I've tried many many different suggestions how to remove the throbber image on the tabs while pages are loading.

This isn't really a question. This is a solution, at least for Linux users:

1) First, run these commands from a terminal: 

 cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default* && mkdir chrome
 cd chrome
 echo '.tab-throbber { display: none !important }' \
  >> userChrome.css

2) Restart Firefox

Yay, no more stupid animation burning 22% CPU and eating my laptop battery!

You're welcome!  :-)
