[Bug 643166] [NEW] Blinking Verical grey bar appears on many websites in recent FF releases

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

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.
