It seems it's related to the mouse somehow. Everything including the statusbar, toolbar etc stays normal but the window which get's completely black. Sometimes doing some erratic mousemovements or clicking the left mouse button may get rid of the black window but sometimes it won't it happens completely random. Changing tab helps sometimes but sometimes it won't and the black window will appear in whatever active window i am on. 

Also i am getting this behaviour when i have alot tabs open. In this case i have more than fifty plus tabs open and Firefox process taking more than three gigabytes of memory. Firefox get's very unstable when it has to commit more than three gigabytes for it and it randomly craches but that's an another matter.

Thanks for the report. To be sure that this is a Firefox issue, try to reproduce in Safe Mode or using a new profile. Make sure that your drivers are up to date.
