Firefox displays pages without styles briefly before applying styles

When I navigate to a page, Firefox briefly shows the page without styles. This causes annoying flickering.

I made a video of this and uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQDNF40iysg

This does not happen in every page, perhaps because the css is alrady in cache, or css is loaded so fast. My network speed should be ok (speedtest.net reports 237 Mbps / 47 Mbps).

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Thanks philipp, it was indeed an addon that caused this. I removed AdBlocker Ultimate and the flickering stopped.
