Details
layers.acceleration.force-enabled;true worked rather well on my Linux machine, and I'd been using it with nightlies to improve rendering speeed and prevent artifacts in CSS transitions.
After updating to the nightly from 2012-08-02 the entire interface went black.
Oddly, the Olympic torch eventually renders. It looks rather nice against the black I suppose.
The context menu and dropdown menus render. But bothing else.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670]
[ 117.654] (II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
[ 117.654] compiled for 1.4.99.906, module version = 8.96.4
I was a little delayed in reporting this 'cause I thought, not being in a hurry and the time interval being small, I'd try hg bisect and see if there was a revision I could identify and try reverting.
Unfortunately while I could build the buildconfig revisions for 08-01 and 08-02, the dozen or so revisions I hit in the middle w/ hg bisect -s all yielded
/home/nemo/hg/mozilla-central/dom/indexedDB/test/unit
TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | xpccheck | test test_writer_starvation.js is missing from test manifest /home/nemo/hg/mozilla-central/dom/indexedDB/test/unit/xpcshell.ini!
and build errors.
Sooo, hopefully you guys have a better suspect in that range.

On my nvidia desktop, layers acceleration now crashes.
Again, rolling back to 2012-08-01 fixed, so I'm guessing the problem is the same.

Updated title to match.
Summary: Regression. Enabling layers renders a black interface. 2012-08-02 nightlies and later. fglrx/Radeon HD 4670 → Regression. Enabling layers crashes or renders a black interface. 2012-08-02 nightlies and later. Tested on nvidia and fglrx.
I'm thinking this is possibly a dupe of bug #779852 based on regression range and similar-ish method for triggering.
Marking it as "depends" at least.
One of you can make the call :)
Depends on: 779852
BTW. Nothing like the silently updating nightlies to completely throw a person off.
Thought that the bug had suddenly started happening in 08-01 too :-p

nemo, can you download a nightly debug build and check if there's any failing assertion?
Pretty clearly a duplicate of bug #780059 - both in details and in the fact that a build including the pushes from today no longer fails.
Not sure about the crasher. If it is still happening it might be a separate bug, maybe the aforementioned bug #779852
No longer depends on: 779852
Huh. Weird. I thought I'd resolved it duplicate...
