Tab and reload button blink intermittently.

This has been going on some weeks. It was not a result of any scans done recently or any recent Windows updates.
Intermittently, and tonight with Firefox, the EE tab at the top and the reload button begin blinking. It stops after awhile.
I've meant to ask about this for at least 3-4 weeks.
We do not know the exact date it started. We gathered it might be something related to the site or to the browser used and we have used Chrome and FF every day for the last 1.5 months.

Not sure what zone it belongs in either.

Chances are that is caused because the page itself (advertisements and scripts) are not fully loaded yet.  I'll try to find more info from Mozilla for you.

It's doing it now as I came to this page. It is only EE.

The reload button stopped turning after about 8 times. After that the webpage on the tab stopped blinking.

So, it's endless re-loading attempts, only on this website EE. Not endless as it does stop after several re-loadings.

what is the "Blue and Red circles Icon" to the right of your Home icon?
...........That is FF add-on which is a video download helper. Others can verify that.
The problem started in recent weeks whereas that add-on has been used for years so it should not be related.

I'll explain again that the only website where this happens is Experts Exchange.

It might be called a repetition vs. a blinking.
It is an intermittent event.
It happens to quickly to begin to try to capture a screen shot with it half way loaded and half way not. The webpage itself does not reload over and over just the things seen inside the "green" area marked above, blinks over and over.....
