After browsing for a while, Mozilla seems to just stop painting (refreshing)
itself. This applies to the browser, mail, everything. It seems to start
happening  when I'm using multiple tabs, but I'm not sure. It gets to the point
that you can't tell what's going on. Everything looks completly messed up. If I
drag the window off the screen, and then back up, it repaints (generally)..but
that usually only lasts until I browse another page. I've tried re-installing
Mozilla completly, but that didn't help. Rebooting seems to be the only
solution, but that's a pain.

I would guess that this is a symptom of one of the known resource-leak bugs in
Mozilla, although it's difficult to nail down which.
