A Google Web Search Help thread has a group of searchers complaining about a single pixel that shows up when you click the next or previous buttons in Google Search. This only seems to show up for a second, when you click the next or previous button, but it also only shows up in Firefox 3.
Here are pictures:
As you can see, I circled in red, the pixel that seems to be really bugging some searchers.
Funny how the smallest little thing can really get on your nerves.

I wonder if it is related to Google's use of CSS sprites to load their images quickly- Depending on where you right click on the 'next' image the dot appears in different places... Maybe a spacing rule?
