Attachment: Video of problem explained

Please visit http://www.martinez.netrac.uk/video. The video details the problem with visuals with Firefox 52.0.2 when viewing the front page animated images of this site and the slider items under Projects menu tab. Visuals appear to be OK with ver.49.0.2.

I have a similar problem: An example is at www.edelweb.de/zechef/recettes/ or www.edelweb.de/imp after clicking to the cube.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 does not work as before.

The 'carroussel' is composed by individual animations for each image, in order to make it work on IE. The animations work with Chromium, and worked in the same way with firefox before under ubuntu 16.10,
The animations modifies the z-index in order to have the 'front' images clickable.   

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 works ok.

If we get migraines and/or seizures, how should we protect ourselves against similar animations?

Does the problem persist under Firefox Nightly?

> Does the problem persist under Firefox Nightly?

Yes it does. You can easily see this yourself with the nightly install. As requested before please visit www.martinez.netrac.uk. The animated pictures on the home page operate correctly to start with but after a short while they deteriorate and some of the slices just flash on and off instead of a smooth transition. Older version of firefox was fine implying that problem is not website code related.
