Comment(by mikus):

 The most recent SoaS build that I have installad into the NAND on an XO is
 'soas04xo'.  [I do not bother to "customize" (e.g., by installing
 additional browsers) builds which I have to boot from an USB stick.]
 Note:  recently, after applying an xorg update (for F12) to my soas04xo
 system, I experienced video corruption - for instance, the initial
 rendering of Home View did not show icons in the ring -- what I saw
 instead was black squares in those icon positions.  My bypass was to
 import /etc/X11/xorg-dcon.conf from an os10 build -- then that "unwanted
 black" corruption went away.

 Just now tested Firefox 3.6b4 on soas04xo with your page -- and did see a
 bit of what you call "blurring".  When I moused over the back button or
 the help button, the blue circle got properly drawn around the button --
 but the __square area__ behind the respective button+circle appeared
 (usually, but not always) to be corrupted with some white marks.  Never
 saw white marks within the rest of the area at the top, nor within the
 purple/brown area near the bottom.
