When a tab finishes loading it flashes blue. Is there an addon or custom script to remove this blue flash?

I find that the blue flash upon a tab fully loading, is distracting and draws my attention away from the webpage. This only happens when the loading tab is the tab that is being viewed.

hi, you can disable that animation like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false.
