When I look into the stylesheet I see:

.crumbs {
	font-family: Geneva, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #666666;
	text-decoration: blink;
}

Removing the last line makes everything more quiet.

While horrible, this isn't a bug in Firefox. I see the same behaviour in both Firefox 2 and nightly/beta builds of 3.

AFAIK, IE doesn't support blink, so you won't see it there.

If you don't like the blink effect, it can be disabled with a hidden preference. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.blink_allowed for details.
