The times I've investigated the back-and-forth thingy continue there has always been something on the page that wasn't fully loaded. But I haven't investigated every instance.

Haven't noticed that. Sometimes it goes on forever, but not when the page is fully loaded.

I have seen the Cyclon Eye continue on occasion until I load a different page. Since it is only once every 1 to 3 days, and sometimes on the same website and sometimes on a different web site, I haven't figured the cause other than speculating that on rare occasion Firefox thinks it hasn't received all the data for a page.

I get it very often. Seems to happen mostly when there is only one tab.

I know I had lots of lost packets (and often pages not finishing loading) back when I was using Avast Internet Security, but far fewer since switching to Norton Security Suite (provided free from Comcast).
It appears, so far, that I fixed my problem. I moved favicons.sqlite out of my profile folder and let Fx create a new one. I started to go to sites and I didn't have the ball thingy on the tab go back and forth forever. I guess it was looking for the favicon for the site. Unfortunately something else weird happened. Some sites with a favicon didn't update the icon on my bookmarks (isn't there a pref for this?). So I copied my original favicons.sqlite back and I don't have a problem and all my favicons are present.

streetwolf, are you running with Menu -> Options -> Privacy & Security, "History" section, "Nightly will" set to "Never remember history"? If so, not remembering the favicon when the page is first bookmarked is a known bug.

I'm remembering my history.
