This is a continuation of an issue reported in the old Git Repo for Orbit:
https://github.com/zurb/orbit/issues/54

I checked out timer.is(':hidden'), and removing that did not fix the problem.

Pretty sure this is an issue with the frequency at which we are rotating the timer. Right now we rotate the image every two degrees, which for short advance speeds means it's redrawing at a high frequency. At much longer advance speeds it performs fine.

Removing the animated timer fixes the issue. Also reducing the frequency at which we rotate the timer helps as well, but then makes it look rougher on faster browsers that can handler the quick redraws.

Any ideas on alternative methods for rotating the spinner that will be performant on older FireFox?
