I guess it's an issue of your graphics driver, not Firefox itself.

[SoCalGuy]

Funny, I don't have those problems with ANY other browser - just Firefox.

Comment 4

[SoCalGuy]

And my graphics drivers are up to date (NVIDIA GeForce GT 430), got any other ideas?

Comment 5

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

Is your goal here to try get the issue resolved, or just to complain?

If it's the former, then please provide as much information about how to reproduce this problem as possible.

* The graphics section of about:support
* If it still happens in safe mode
* What steps are required to make it occur
* Which firefox version it started happening with

If it's the latter then please find somewhere else to do so.

I can't find a dupe now, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this before. Getting the information that Matt listed above would definitely help.

Matt Woodrow: Is your goal here to attack me, or to help find a solution to this problem?

Comment 8

[SoCalGuy]

I'm going to re-install the graphics driver and see if that helps.

Comment 9

[SoCalGuy]

If that fixes this problem, we can go to all of the crashes, freezes, etc. etc. etc.

reinstalling graphic drivers might just hide the problem, I think it make sense still dump here output of about:support and try in Safe Mode.

[SoCalGuy]

Why would it "might just hide the problem"? I would think that having a known-good installation would be a good place to start, and if if fixes this problem I'll be more than happy with that.

Comment 12

[SoCalGuy]

The only "constant" with this issue is that it happens when more than one tab or window is open - I've seen it happen with several, and also with just a few. No real consistency to it at all.
