Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

After installing Firefox 3.0 this morning, when opening ANY page, all hyperlinks seem dead and the button don't work. I have already found that if I click on a different window (or do Alt+Tab), everything works fine again... until I load the next page and everything starts again. It's very frustrating to have to do Alt+Tab to bring a page "to life". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a web page, any URL
2. the page loads, but any active link is dead
3. do Alt+Tab, or click on a different window
4. Problem solved

Can this be reproduced in a testing build, such as 3.1b2 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html) or, even better, a nightly 3.1a1 (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/)?

This is a mass search for bugs which are in the Firefox General component, are
UNCO, have not been changed for 500 days and have an unspecified version. 

Reporter, can you please update to Firefox 3.6.10 or later, create a fresh profile, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/managing+profiles, and test again. If you still see the issue, please update this bug. If the issue is gone, please set the status to RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
