This sounds to me as if you're simply using a display which isn't running at least 24bit colour depth. All that's happening is that Mozilla is installing its own colour map in the X server -- so when you move your mouse pointer into or out of the Mozilla window, your whole display switches from the default colour map to the Mozilla colour map or back again. ie. it's not a bug. It's a feature of your graphics setup.
