Using Firefox 14.0.1. On one particular page
(http://finance.yahoo.com/), the "Reload current page" button sometimes
continually blinks on and off (about once a second), after the page
completely loads. It doesn't seem to interfere with anything, but I'm
wondering why does it do that? It isn't doing it right now, but earlier
today it was, and I restarted Firefox and it still did it. But like I
said now it isn't. What would make it blink? I haven't seen that
behavior on any other web site. Thanks.

In general, blinking is to draw your attention to something. The only

things I can think of are:
1. The page reloaded itself (probably under the influence of JavaScript)
2. The browser has detected that the page you are viewing has updated
on the server since you fetched it.

it's probably refreshing some data, and switching back and forth
(rapidly) between the stop button and the reload button.
