This is a bug with Firefox. Whenever you use a fade you'll see this.
The solution is to set the opacity of the body to .999 for Firefox. In
your stylesheet, just add this rule (or if, you've already got a body
rule, just add the -moz-opacity: .999;)
body {
-moz-opacity: .999;
}
I prefer to use -moz-opacity instead of opacity, because this only
appplies to Firefox.
