I'm getting very short (1 millisecond) flashing of random images on firefox-say I'm watching a Twitch stream, a random snapshot of that stream will blink over another part of my web browser. It's very strange and only happens with firefox. I tried reinstalling firefox and my graphics drivers but to no avail. Please help?

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?

Is this many times, sometimes, once in a while . . . .

How long from starting the feed does this happen?

It happens to almost any website, it seems to happen on pokemonshowdown.com and twitch.com a lot. Usually once every 15 minutes or so. It's very annoying, and very strange.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad blocker.

If the problem is still there, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
