User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Build ID: 20170928100123 Steps to reproduce: foo.html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css"> </head> <body> <h1>hello</h1> <form> <input type="text" name="search" autofocus> </form> </body> </html> test.css: h1 { color: red; } Spin up your favourite web server (won't work with file://) and open with firefox. I used flask to serve the above on a high port. Actual results: There was a render flash: "hello" flashed black before turning red. I believe this means that the CSS stopped being render blocking. This behaviour stopped after I removed the "autofocus" from the input element. Expected results: Wait until CSS loaded, then render the text as red directly.
I tested on Firefox 57 and Firefox nightly, and present in both. The larger the reliance of the page on CSS and the bigger the HTML, the more noticeable it is.
