FWIW, I see the same symptoms with both Firefox and (just now) Thunderbird, and I am using the Nouveau NVidia drivers - I mention that as I seem to recall a vaguely similar sounding issue a couple of years ago that could be worked around why switching away from the NVidia proprietary drivers (which the OP in this seems to be using).
