Bug Description

I have set it to "Show blank page" on my New Tab however the search box from "Show your top sites" keeps briefly (for a split second) showing up. This happens rather regularly and in most cases. Though sometimes the search bar will last for up to 10 seconds as it did this time:

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20 and Firefox 48.

Yes,

not to mention also Search and Top Sites.

This happened to be tested between bug 1398819 and bug 1399696. The page should load blank without animation artifacts since bug 1399696.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

There have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

apport-collect 1619900

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
