I had a similar(?) issue, but for me the entire firefox window was black (everything except the window decorations). The blackness depended on the size of the window, so when I resized the firefox window the contents showed for certain sizes.
I managed to solve it, by using nvidia-settings and turning on "sync to vblank" for everything (there are three or four of these checkboxes) and then restart X. Now firefox works. This is ubuntu 7.04, with compiz-fusion installed according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481314 -- Enabling Desktop Effects, some part of firefox and thunderbird windows are black for few seconds when I deminimize them. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
