User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Steps to reproduce:
Access a relatively "heavy" website, after loading, click Refresh
Actual results:
White screen during period
Expected results:
there is no white screen
Firefox empties the screen when the HTML is received. Chrome clears the original content when you need to draw content, to improve the user experience.
I hope Firefox also has a similar experience.
No.
You refresh on a web page that is not a white background, you can still see the white screen
This is especially useful when a site has a dark theme and low light conditions. The white flash is annoying.
https://www.blakeallendesign.com/ for example. Blinks white on refresh.

Thanks for that.
Do you also have an example of a site where this happens in a non-reload case? ie clicking between pages on the same site.

Blicks sometimes, like 50%. Esp Cat links at the bottom.
Many websites can see this phenomenon, even about:home can see that you only need to refresh it to observe it.

Thanks. I'm asking for cases when you see it in a non-refresh scenario.

example url: https://www.spacex.com/
devtools settings: disable javascript
reproduce steps: multiple click DRAGON and STARSHIP
chrome: no white screen
firefox: maybe white screen
guess: after new navigation, should replace the old page with the first paint page(FCP)

Thanks.
Can you provide some examples of sites where you see this where you don't need to change a setting that that vast majority of Firefox users don't change?

In fact, Firefox has this problem for any website.
My examples above are just for obvious reasons. Disabling js also makes them MPA(otherwise the spa's route switching will not refresh the page).

This isn't an issue anymore. If it is for you, you need to create a new profile. I couldn't reproduce this on a dozen random sites I found in 3 different new profiles in Release, Beta, and Nightly. All the examples above work for me. I've noticed no flashes since Firefox added dark mode throughout their entire UI.
