This is related to JavaScript, but I can't figure out what the blinking cursor actually means. It only occurs on JavaScript-heavy websites. Examples include http://www.nytimes.com.
My suspicion is that there's some kind of pending AJAX call floating around, but the cue that the blinking reload button is trying to communicate is unclear. The cursor blinks incessantly at you, but doesn't tell you what it means, what it wants or what it expects you to do.
I can't find any documentation on what this feature(?)/bug(?) is supposed to be. It would be good to document it or provide a tooltip/mouse-over message telling the user what the blinking cursor is actually indicating. I'd dig through your bugzilla system, change log/release notes, but I can't figure out when the change was introduced, and Firefox's backlog of dev docs is GARGANTUAN, and this is merely kind of annoying.
Can a Firefox developer reply to this question, and tell us what the blinking reload button actually means?
Also, I'd like to point out that suggesting to users that they should "reset to firefox to the default/factory settings" is an unacceptable response. I have a specific configuration for my address bar, button bar, menu bar, tab bar area, and I like it that way. One of the reasons I like Firefox is because it lets me customize that stuff. Telling me to just nuke it, and suffer with the focus-group-tested defaults is garbage. No thanks. That's NOT a fix.

Hi Try Reset Firefox
Hope this will solve your problem.

The advice from ianilku did the job.
FF has been updated (to 15.0) and restarted many times since this problem started. I have to repeatedly click [Reload] while its blinking to get a page reload.

I have the same intermittent problem. Here's a bit more information, in case it helps anyone narrow down the problem. I only notice this on NYTimes.com, and the only reason I noticed it was that comments I try to post on certain blogs at the site weren't posting. I figured out that if the refresh button is flashing and I try to post a comment, the screen would show my comment with the message, "Your comment has been submitted, and will be published after approved" but it was not actually being submitted; this was just an automatic feature of the comment form. When the refresh is not flashing, my comments always get posted.
