Every time I go to a new page I get this obnoxious flash before it draws. It's practically fit-inducing.  Or am I imagining things?

What browser, version, and OS?

Avant browser Version 11.5 Build 16 under Windows XP. This started happening for me just in the last few minutes.

I just noticed - If I hit refresh the screen clears to white before drawing. Perhaps this has something to do with it?

Firefox does not do this.

Everything is back to normal now. Whatever you changed fixed things. Thanks :)

I didn't change anything on the main site.

That is just strange then. Because I didn't change anything on my end either.

Firefox is just flaky. One of the reasons why I switched to Opera.

Ever since I was forced to "upgrade" to Firefox 2 I have been having problems.  Quite often the browser will just die on me and stop responding to clicks, this breaks any and all other Firefox windows I have up, I have to kill the process in task manager.  I'm getting very tired of seeing that "Firefox crashed would you like to start a new session window".  Plus the stupid bastards added that incredibly annoying message bar that pops up at the top of the page telling me useless information.  That same horrible mechanism in IE was the straw that broke the camel's back and why I switched to Firefox, now they're doing it too.

All I want is a browser that renders code correctly and doesn't try to impose itself.

SeaMonkey is the Mozilla successor with more options and less crap than the "lean" Firefox.  I suggest giving it a try if you want to stick with that flavor of browser.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

SeaMonkey is:

Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

Sounds a lot more bloated to me, and since it's from Mozilla it uses the same Gecko (I think that's what it's called) Engine for rendering anyway doesn't it?

I think people need to be extra-careful where they get their Firefox install image.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

It can be installed browser only, just like Mozilla when it was under development.  Same thing, new name.

I don't know if it's the identical to the Gecko Engine in Firefox 2.0 or not, but it's been perfectly stable for me.  I'm just suggesting it as an alternative to Firefox if it's acting wonky but someone likes its overall feel.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!
