After upgrading from FF 51.0.0 to FF 51.0.1, FF now shows me white
pages, sometimes with light grey rectangles.

Uninstalling and installing the firefox plugin "ubuntu modifications"
does not work around this issue any more.

Currently, I'm not aware of a workaround for that, so I can't use FF for
the moment.

Title:
  After updating to firefox 50.0, tab goes black instead of showing web
  pages

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Today, I updated firefox to version 50.0. This update was offered to
  me via the official updates I got for ubuntu 16.04.

  After restarting firefox, I get a black tab content when I "open" a
  web page. For demonstration, see the screen shot attached.

  Note that I still can edit preferences or "about:config". Tabs only go
  black for web pages.

  I get the black tabs after installing firefox together with this set of 
updates:
        isc-dhcp-client 4.3.3-5ubuntu12.4
        isc-dhcp-common 4.3.3-5ubuntu12.4

        xserver-common 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2
        xserver-xorg-core 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2

  Please not that xserver got updated, too.

  The behaviour also remains after a reboot.

  Other applications, including Thunderbird, do not show similar
  behaviour.
