It looks better with Nightly. Can you test please.

With the latest nightly (36.0a1 (2014-11-09)), the canvas flickers like crazy, but the memory doesn't seem to be leaking.

No memory leakage and no canvas flickering here on Ubuntu 14.04.2 with a 3.16.7-based kernel, mesa 10.3.2 and Firefox 39.

Can we close this bug?

That depends, are you able to reproduce the issue as described on your system? Since this was reported with Firefox 33 you should test that version to confirm you can see the issue in the first place. If not then the fact that you can't see the bug in Firefox 39 is an inconclusive result.

Kamil, can you please retest this with the latest Firefox available and see if it reproduces? If not, we can close this bug as WORKSFORME.

I don't see neither flickering or leaking on nightly under Linux x64. It's been 17 months since the last post, closing now.
