Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 887975

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: Browser, defect)

The tiles in the awesome screen flicker when the horizontal scrollbar is used: they disappear and appear back after a few seconds. Still, they are functional even if they are not visible. 

Preconditions: Make sure you have enough history/tabs from other devices so that the awesome screen gets the horizontal scrollbar

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Nightly in Metro mode
2. Right click on the page/WINDOWS+Z/CTRL+L to bring out the url bar
3. Set the focus in the url 
-> awesome screen is displayed
4. Drag the horizontal scrollbar to scroll to the right and left

Expected result: all tiles in the awesome screen are displayed

Actual result: the tiles in the awesome screen disappear for a few moments and then they appear back. If you click on the area where a tile should be (but it is not shown) the browser navigates to that page
