this is bizarre.  It isn't blinking exactly, but instead there are a few frames that are white.

Is this related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541907 then (btw, I'm currently looking for a regression range)?

I am not sure.

Flash will blink anytime another element on the page needs to be painted, mainly because of animated graphics or animated HTML elements.

Same issue reproduced on Mobile Firefox 1.0 on N900 with the Youtube enabler add-on installed, Playing embedded Youtube video on a page with an animated Gif next to it. Looks like the youtube video flashes white when the gif is animated. Gecko/20100126 Firefox/3.6.1 Fennec/1.0.0

Something similar can be seen on http://www.meble.vox.pl/kolekcje-mebli/--modern--/pw/szafa-3-drzwiowa,214/ after tapping on blinking 'play' icon(video will appear with a flashing white square on top of it, exactly where the animated gif has been tapped).

This code has changed dramatically, especially with layers. We should see no blinking flash anymore. We have other bugs opened for flash (and plugins) operating in layers.

Closing thise bug. Reopen if the same problem still exists
