Firefox Window Problem

When I start firefox the window will hang with a black outline before opening fully same with closing the window. I'm using i3wm. Firefox is only graphical I've used terminals and other windows open and close smoothly filling the screen instantly, etc. Only firefox has this graphical issue. Also when I right click 'Save Image As' the graphical window will open as a black box for a  split second before rendering the graphic.

I have scoured google and haven't been able to find anything related to this albeit I did remove xf86-video-intel as it was causing firefox severe performance issues.

I can post some log files if needed but really don't know how to trouble shoot this?

Re: Firefox Window Problem

Okay so I found the problem and it was a gtk issue. I guess it was applying GTK windows double shadowing or something but I found a css config on the wiki (doh!)

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
 box-shadow: 0 0 0 black;
 border-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 border-radius: 0;
}

.titlebar {
 border-radius: 0;
}

.window-frame.csd.popup {
  box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 0 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13);
}

.header-bar {
  background-image: none;
  background-color: #ededed;
  box-shadow: none;
}
/* You may want to use this if you don't like the double title.
GtkLabel.title {
    opacity: 0;
}*/
