I am also experiencing this on a new install of Ubuntu Studio 14.04, with Firefox 31.0 installed.
Streetview was working fine on my old Ubuntu Studio 12.04 install but not since upgrading! Not sure which version of Firefox was installed there but should have been pretty recent! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322835 Title: Google Street View not working properly on Firefox 29 Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Got to the new Google Maps, https://www.google.com/maps/preview Click on the Pegman near the bottom right corner Click on any "blue" street to enter the new Google Street View. Google Street View works properly. Now, click somewhere on the Google Street View screen to move forward along a street. Almost always, the view becomes black, while the rest of the screen (road indication on top left, photos on bottom, small map on the bottom left) are OK. Exiting Street View with the left arrow next to the road indication on top left, does not help, the map view is also black. The side elements (search box etc.) work. Reloading the page restores the situation.
