Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
For a while now I've noticed this, so I'm opening a bug against Firefox for this...
On many websites these days, I get a blinking vertical gray bar on the left hand side of objects in a web page. This occurs on sites like GMail and Facebook and others that use similar technlolgy. It even happens on my personal site that runs Drupal as the content management system.
I don't know what or why this happens, but it's quite annoying. I've attached a screen shot to demonstrate. Unfortunately, I had to take it with my cell-phone camera because my screen-cap software doesn't show the gray bar. even if the gray bar is present in the screen shot preview, it is not present in the final capture.
