I start browsing a web page and the horizontal black lines start to appear,  specially if you scroll down.  If you review the bug history you will find this reported plenty of times. It all begun with Firefox 2.0.0.4 and now it continues with Firefox 2.0.0.5

Here is a screen capture:

Just go to cnn.com, and scroll down. 
In the 'Ads by Google' iframe there will be black lines.
It seems there is a redraw problem for iframes when the whole page is scrolled.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please reply if you can still reproduce this bug with Firefox 3.5.3 or later in a new profile with the latest plugins (flash, quicktime, java, etc.).
