This is a working hack to hold you until someone _with the keys to the place_ does something on their own. This is a javascript mod that will do the deed, but you have to use about:config to change it. More UI, Less UI... who knows with the Firefox crew.
I got the source and saw that the author did start/try to implement the preference, and created it in the config.xul file you get with the extension. My hack is a modified javascript.js file from the same directory. You should be able to copy and paste it into a file that must be named the same. So do back up your original first. Ie. rename it to something you won't forget what it used to be. The preference name is extensions.tab_effect.enabled. Change it to false after you get this javascript in and you'll forget you have it installed. No don't do that! Enjoy.

To the author of tabeffect, I have found it is problematic with the last SessionSaver version that works with Firefox 1.5.0.9. If I try to restore a session, and have this enabled may have a problem with gBrowser.selectedTab. Or it may be SessionSaver by itself.
I will look further.

Ok, the previous link wants to send a js file... but this one lets the browser display it. That was my intention, so here.
