I just saw this a half hour ago... it's still happening.

I was on reddit, and couldn't be sure that it wasn't reddit doing it. Though I half-suspected Firefox. Imagine my surprise when I saw this post.

Nothing about this seems "quickly stopped". The timestamp on your link says nearly 7 hours ago.

Well, then it was still going strong an hour and a half later, if not 6 hours.
