It does not. It's also 5s, not 1s, so that couldn't have been it.
Btw, Googling that option, I found out that there's a reason for this delay and it's security: https://www.squarefree.com/2004/07/01/race-conditions-in-security-dialogs/
That timeout should indeed only last the value of
security.dialog_enable_delay
, so 1s. If it is 5s for you, it would be nice if you write a bug report, maybe with a screen recording.Huh, after a restart it appears to honour that setting; it's now 1s and that's an acceptable security trade-off.
I'm not 100% sure but there may have been an update that was applied by the restart.
