Stefan, I missed triaging this when you filed it. Is this specific to content which uses Stage3D? And when you say "aunch Firefox Nightly in non-e10s mode" do you mean that you go into preferences, uncheck "Enable multi-process Nightly" and relaunch, or are you using the "New non-e10s window" button from the menu?

I meant that I've unchecked "Enable multi-process Nightly" and relaunch the browser.
However now I cannot reproduce the issue on any of the listed pages, may be because of the Jim fixes or because of the new Flash update to 24.0.0.221.

I will mark the bug as Resolved:WFM.
