Details

go to about:config and enable "gfx.webrender.debug.new-frame-indicator" as well as "gfx.webrender.debug.new-scene-indicator". This will show two little bars on the top left. The blue one on the left moves each time a frame is rendered the red one moves each time a scene is built. I've had these on at all times for a while (and you should too!), and sometimes webrender gets into a state where it continuously renders frames even though the content seems static. It happens to me on github occasionally and other random sites. My gut feeling is that we get stuck into a state where we thing there is an animation running but there isn't any.
Bug 1452165 is similar to this.
