Motion JPEGs flicker/flash

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

=== Issue ===
I use motion JPEG images/videos with an application called "motion". When I view the motion jpegs it produces most of the time in FF3 they show that it's really just reloading the same source image over and over to produce a video.

=== What I expect ===
Firefox should wait for the image to be fully downloaded before drawing it for motion jpeg clips so that the user doesn't get a crazy flickering effect.

=== Reproduction ===
I'd rather not share this URL, but here's my camera that I'm referring to: http://orion.dawning.ca:8081/

=== Platform ===
I've observed this issue with Firefox 3.0.1 on Linux and Windows.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm no longer using motion - I don't really have a means of retesting this without reconfiguring motion again.. Maybe I'll set it up soon.. Sort of depends how quickly I can put out some other fires.
