This is on firefox 1.5 RC1 that this is happening. I had to switch back to the last stable version.

Works for me. Have you tried to reproduce it in the safemode or with a new profile?

safe mode .....

Safe Mode (Firefox
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base

(There is currently no text in this page) 

That helps. 

But strangely enough, using the same profiles. the last stable version works fine. 
Also just testing. The screen jumps around when loading pages. sided to side and up and down. Strange. Doesn'  do that with the last stable.

Thanks for the update. Didn't know that it was empty currently..
Safemode is an option in the startmenu (windows). On Linux, start with ./firefox -safe-mode.
