safari favourite page video

This isn't really a problem, but I'm curios if anyone else has noticed/experienced it and knows what it is. So, favourites is my home page, and the backgrounds kind of a grey colour. Recently though -and I don't know if I only just noticed and it's always been like this, or it's new - it's several different shades of grey and other colours, making up blurry moving shapes. It seriously looks like there's some video playing in the background. Does anybody else have this, and do you know what it is?

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.


Try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the same thing happens.
