User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 Build ID: 20110928134238 Steps to reproduce: Facebook and Google Plus use similar photo viewers. These are activated by clicking on a photo on either site, and they display the photo overlaid on the current web page. Actual results: After upgrading to Firefox 7, I noticed that when these viewers load, the screen flickers with white bars appearing and disappearing continuously. This behavior occurs on Facebook when I scroll on the page, and on Google Plus when I move the mouse over elements with a mouseover/hover behavior. Switching tabs or windows and then switching back causes the flickering to stop. Expected results: There should not be any screen flickering.
reporter, do you see this issue when using a current version of firefox (version 13 or newer) started in safe mode - http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe%20mode - with most current version of flash if appropriate ?
