Steps to reproduce:

Go to this Firefox Theme:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mz-aurora/

Move your mouse over the theme for the preview.

There are also other themes that show the same problem. And adding the theme make this effect permanent. You have to start browser in safe-mode, remove the theme and start it again.

The browser has some glitches in showing the theme, but afterwards, the tab currently open and other tabs show the loading circle with no rendering.

In Linux Terminal the following errors are listed:
