The sites provided in comment 4 work for me with the latest Nightly, build ID: 20130415030812, on an Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit machine.

Could you please update your Flash and GPU driver?

Could you please also try the following :

1) try this with a clean profile: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

2) running in Safe mode: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

What is the resolution of your system? My flash and GPU driver are up to date and the error seems reproducible even in safe mode.
