Every time my iGoogle page is opened on Firefox, the page starts blinking rapidly - it shifts up and down. iGoogle is fine on my Internet Explorer and AOL.

Hi jehenshaw04,

It could be a themes issue. I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

You could also try creating a new profile.

Hopefully this helps!
