When a page is loading the reload button becomes an active stop x button. When the page is done loading the button becomes a reload button but inactive in appearance for part of a second before becoming active. The button should go from an active stop button to an active reload button with no inactive state in between. Tested latest nightly on win10 with photon structure enabled.
This is intentional to prevent users from accidentally hitting reload when they intended to hit stop. See http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3efd1caff252061946f0773df68bdd50de5eb756/browser/base/content/browser.js#4957

This behavior didn't change recently, but it may be more noticeable now with the new placement of the button and larger appearance.

It doesn't appear the other browsers do this and it makes us look janky.
We could still disable the button but not change the color of it.

Can clearly see this on the nightly start page - however while its disabled, Cmd-R (OSX) will trigger a reload.
There's a patch in bug 1376893 to fix this.
