Cell phone screen flickering... on this forum only!!

Ok, I'm totally stumped.

Background: new cell phone (Samsung S20 Ultra), renewed from Amazon so I'm keeping a close watch on it until end of return period. So far, fantastic phone.

Now here comes trouble: on Firefox, when reading posts here on this forum, I frequently get some serious/severe screen flicker. Stitching to a different tab, the flickering stops. To date, I don't think I've seen it flicker on anything other than this forum (like Isaid, I'm stumped). Since that doesn't make any sense whatsoever, I tried this forum in Chrome, and bam!, flicker again. I enabled and disabled various features like adaptive lightning and eye comfort shield (blue light filter), the only thing that might appear to make a difference is very low screen brightness.

I'm trying to make up my mind (return it? or cross my fingers it's just a weird little thing?). These renewed devices are a gamble, and if I return this one the next one might have a worse issue (if I can find one at all).

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Im really baffled...

I know... i have to admit I was very doubtful, bought it only because I can return it, and... so far it's really really nice, except for that intermittent flicker (which, of course, makes me very nervous).

But if it's aliens, then my petty concerns about screen flicker are very trivial in comparison

Maybe "ET " is trying to phone home at the same time you are on the forum ? Could be a disturbance in the Force ? .....lol..... 🤔 👽
