I was able to reproduce this issue on Firefox 53.0a1 (2016-11-14) under Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit.

Marking 53 affected per comment 4.  This doesn't sound like a major bug, so marking fix-optional for 52.

Comment 6

[Andrew Osmond [:aosmond]]

It is the image itself, and not any particular interaction with Firefox Sync and the popup displayed, so a simpler STR is:
1) Open browser/themes/linux/syncProgress-horizontalbar.png directly. Flickers.
2) Open browser/themes/linux/syncProgress-toolbar.png directly. Does not flicker with similar animation.

I tried backing out the libpng upgrade and it confirmed it fixes the flickering. I will look into what changed that could have broken this -- maybe a partially misapplied APNG patch (?)...

Comment 7

[Andrew Osmond [:aosmond]]

Attachment: [DEBUG] Restore PNG_ZLIB_VERNUM to stop flickering

It appears that PNG_ZLIB_VERNUM was never defined. When libpng switched to checking ZLIB_VERNUM directly, those #ifdefs all of a sudden got enabled because that *is* defined in zlib.h. Attached patch reverts only those changes from the libpng upgrade and stops the flickering (not intended to land, just for debug).

Comment 8

[Andrew Osmond [:aosmond]]

It looks like we need to set PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW in our decoder in order to decode that image properly. It was effectively set with the PNG_ZLIB_VERNUM define missing, but with ZLIB_VERNUM present, we need to explicitly set this.

Let's make sure this is uplifted so we don't ship this.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 1311776
[User impact if declined]: User will see the sync icon flickering. PNG interop in the wild may be reduced as some images can fail to decode that used to work.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Tried viewing the PNG on latest nightly, no longer flickers.
[Risks and why]: Very low risk. This patch merely restores original behaviour prior to regressing bug.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: N/A

Verified as fixed on Firefox 53.0a1 (2016-11-21) under Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit. There are no longer UI issues displayed during the sync button rotation.

Confirm that the sync icon spins without any UI issues also on Firefox 52.0a2 (2016-11-24) under Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit.
