When i click outside of the FireFox-Window the Distortions disappear. I tested 2 different WindowManagers (xfwm4 and Metacity) and im not using Compiz/Composite. It might be relevant that i use 2 nvidia-cards for a triple-head xinerama setup. I have not experienced this issue with other Browsers such as Chrome, Midori or Epiphany(gecko). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: It happens on most webpages, even on this one where i got a white horzontal line going through "Bad example: Mozilla crashed. You suck!" as well as others.
Is this still reproducible with the latest nightly build? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/

Same here on Debian testing with an nvidia card. Never happened in the Namoroka 3.6 branch and started to happen when passing on to the 3.7 branch.

If users try to set our own colors, or if we use high-contrast themes, we get a lot of horizontal lines and as a result a lot of this pulsing.

Also affects MacOS.
