My iMac is also affected. It's a G5 (PPC970FX) 1.6GHz, 768MB RAM.
I installed Lubuntu 16.04 yesterday (May 30th), problem occurs since then, still happening after apt-get upgrade.

patch-gfx-2d-Types.h Edit (536 bytes, text/x-chdr)

After struggling with this for several months I've found what I believe is the source of this bug. I had to go back and look at Firefox 44.0, the last version to build without exhibiting the flashing. I discovered that a change between versions 44.0 and 45.0, Bug 1209812 - Add endian-neutral variants to SurfaceFormat, was the culprit.

I believe error is in the below code changes to gfx/2d/Types.h:

  // The following values are endian-independent synonyms. The _UINT32 suffix
  // indicates that the name reflects the layout when viewed as a uint32_t
  // value.
#if MOZ_LITTLE_ENDIAN
  A8R8G8B8_UINT32 = B8G8R8A8, // 0xAARRGGBB
  X8R8G8B8_UINT32 = B8G8R8X8 // 0x00RRGGBB
#elif MOZ_BIG_ENDIAN
  A8R8G8B8_UINT32 = A8R8G8B8, // 0xAARRGGBB
  X8R8G8B8_UINT32 = X8R8G8B8 // 0x00RRGGBB
#else
# error "bad endianness"
#endif

As I understand from reading the endianness values that preceed this code, the endian test should be reserved to be:

#if MOZ_BIG_ENDIAN
  A8R8G8B8_UINT32 = B8G8R8A8, // 0xAARRGGBB
  X8R8G8B8_UINT32 = B8G8R8X8 // 0x00RRGGBB
#elif MOZ_LITTLE_ENDIAN
  A8R8G8B8_UINT32 = A8R8G8B8, // 0xAARRGGBB
  X8R8G8B8_UINT32 = X8R8G8B8 // 0x00RRGGBB
#else
# error "bad endianness"
#endif

I've used this to patch Firefox which allows me to successfully build both Firefox 46 and 47 that do not exhibit the graphics flashing.

firefox 47 build with 2D GFX endianess fix Edit (37.6 MiB, application/x-debian-package)

I tried rebuilding the current xenial firefox release (48.0) which failed (not due to the patch), dont waste your trying tryint to build version 48.

A xenial build of firefox 47 did work. Attaching for those who want to use it.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
