When a page contains transparent flashes, 
Firefox spends much of the time to refresh the page
and becomes very slow. It can even not
respond to user requests.

With the attached test page, sometimes when a user hits
a key, the wait cursor is displayed and nothing happens.
To display the requested page the user must hide
and re-display the browser window or move the mouse
cursor over the browser window.

this problem is seen on slow platforms.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page (attachement)
2. hit a key

Actual Results:  
the wait cursor is displayed and the page is not reloaded.

Expected Results:  
The page must reload.

When a new request is started, the browser must stop the animations which is not always the case.
