I have also observed egregious redraw flicker when using JQuery's
animate() function in FireFox whenever content has scrollbars.  I've
taken a hidescrollbars-animate-showscrollbars workaround.  Since most
if not all of JQuery's effects are built on top of animate() it seems
that any effect that moves pixels and has scrollbars will suffer this
same bad fate.
