Attachment: 2011-07-23_firefox5.0_bug.swf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

1. I opened Firefox and started 2 tabs.
2. Tab 1 : Some random website & Tab 2 : Downloads Tab.
3. I minimized the Firefox browser window.
4. I maximized the Firefox browser window.



Actual results:

On maximizing the Firefox browser window, i got a completely blank browser. And this happens irrespective of the website(s) being visited or the number of tabs open in the browser and has happened on a lot of occasions with no noticeable frequency.


Expected results:

The browser is unable to paint / render itself when maximized.

Is that Issue reproducible in Safe-Mode where the Hardware Acceleraton Feature is disabled?
