Chosen solution

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#tabbrowser-tabs .tab-icon-image { display:-moz-box!important; }
#tabbrowser-tabs .tab-throbber { display:none!important; }

Hi!

Can you share an Screenshot? I'm not sure if I understand what are you talking about and I'm not sure if is something that is related to Firefox or the website that you are visiting.

An image will help a lot.

Thanks, Ibai

You should only see a spinning throbber on a tab if that tab is in a loading state.
You should see the website's favicon on the tab once the page has finished loading.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Here, brother.

Alright. Never mind. I can deal with the creepy eyeballs that scan my screen.

By the way, I am using TorBrowser.
