Loading wheel in between changing tabs
So this little loading wheel started to appear today while I'm loading pages and it stays when I change tabs with an already loaded page. So let's say I open a page in a new tab, I go back to a tab I was already on while I wait for the page on the new tab to load, but this little loading wheel would stay there when I change tabs. It's only for a few seconds, but this never happend before today and the last update was a couple days ago so it seems a little weird to me.
Thank you in advance.

Like this? Also, that is the loading wheel.
thank you, that seems to be a (unintended/unwanted) by-product of the multiprocess architecture being switched on: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2016/08/02/whats-next-for-multi-process-firefox/ i'll try to follow up with mozilla engineers about the issue and might come back with further questions trying to diagnose the issue or to see if there are any workarounds...
this issue is dealt with in bug 1300411 in case you want to follow along that report...
