Description
# Issue
Images flicker (briefly showing white background) during HTMX page transitions in Firefox only, even when properly preloaded. We can't see very good on the video but :
- When I refresh the page, click on the link, I can see briefly the white background before showing the image
- When the image is cached, then I never see this white background again ...
```html
HTMX SPA
```
# Details
- Images and links are correctly prefetched in Firefox
- When clicking a link, images briefly flash (white background) before appearing
- This only happens in Firefox, works fine in other browsers
- preload-images="true" attribute is already being used
Any suggestions to prevent this Firefox-specific image flickering during page transitions? I want to to be absolutly instant, even on the first click ! ;)
