Over the past week, my firefox screen has begun blinking. There is no rhythm to it. The first blink is generally 10-15 minutes after I open my laptop and hop online. It's a micro-second blink with nearly no interruption in the image, just a perceptible blink, almost like it's what's behind the content that's blinking.

I have a macbook air, everything is updated and current. I've watched over the past 3-4 days to see if there is a pattern, and I find none other than it happens randomly when I'm online.

Any thoughts?

Is it the whole screen, part of it . . . . ? ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
