This is the solution. I had to do some digging and backtracking. I think others may experience this issue as well if they use commands or a software called Onyx, or similar tools, to tweak "hidden" system settings/preferences.

This setting needs to be on to receive animations for alerts or pop-ups (such as Privacy Report). Since this browser is based on the backbone of Safari, this setting affects Orion as well.

Thank you!
