The temporary fix for the blinking text in Firefox is:
On your Master or the page with the slideshow/scriptaculous effects
create a new style. In the Styles dialog type “body” in the Tag field
(without quotes) and click Extended button. In the Extended dialog
click New, in the name field type “-moz-opacity” and in the value
field type “.99” again both without quotes. Click Ok, make sure that
the Name field in the Edit Style dialog is empty and click Ok again.
Now, when you publish the style will be output, you don’t need to
apply it to anything (this is because it’s a tag style).
Hope this helps,
Joe

looks like a bug in Firefox 2.0.0.11. I will continue to look for a
workaround.

This opacity thing was of course a workround that Walter suggested - I just didn’t get it to work.
One question Joe - If I create this style as you suggest with no Name, just the body tag then I assume it will not show in my Styles inspector list and how do I know that I have created it properly.
It will show in the list like any other style. You’ll know it’s working when you get the desired result in FF.
As a test try this with the body style: Set the font-color to red and preview. If you created the tag style correctly your text should be red. If that works then at least you’ll be certain the tag style is being recognized and then you can move on and verify that the opacity workaround Joe suggested was indeed created correctly. If the workaround still doesn’t work then you know the problem is with the opacity attribute.

Yep that was, this one targets mozilla browsers specifically.
