Refreshing will not "repaint" the page and I have to restart. I use Fedora Core 4 and a screenshot of the problem can be seen here. http://img170.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1yu.png I have tried this on my laptop and the same issue exists. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a second tab 2.Move from the first tab to the second then back again. 3. Actual Results: The browser window is blank. Expected Results: A web page should be displayed.

Do you see this when you start firefox with ./firefox safe-mode? (firefox and firefox-bin must not be running when you start.)
I suffer from this problem and can confirm it still happens under safe-mode. I first noticed this on the 27th and I update daily. I am using latest nightly under Linux.
(In reply to comment #1) > Do you see this when you start firefox with ./firefox safe-mode? (firefox and > firefox-bin must not be running when you start.) As Will has said this also happens in safe mode. Also, I'm glad it's not just me, thanks for confirming Will. Anything else I can try then please let me know. Steve.
Sounds a bit the same as bug 281709. Could be a regression from bug 281709.
