Very easy to reproduce on aforementioned URL.

No content interaction involved here and only reproducible with Flash.

I've noticed something similar in bug 738297.

More STR: enable plugins, krantenkoppen.de

Commenting out the Gecko rendering makes the issue go away, so it seems to be some sort of bad interaction between that and SurfaceTextureLayer.

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

mixmag.net and nytimes.com seem to vary their layout enough that I can't reproduce it every time. And krantenkoppen.de isn't even a thing. If others have sites that show the issue, please let me know.

I'm wondering if this should actually be a beta blocker.  This makes for a pretty bad experience.

This works now with the fix from 743247, duping to that.
