39.0 not rendering on mac OS x virtual machines

After installing or updating to 39.0 on Mac OS X Virtual Machines, Firefox no longer renders. All I get is a white screen, this was duplicated across multiple OS X versions and virtual machines. 39.0 works fine on a physical machine running OS X.

Further research suggests that this may be an issue with accelerated graphics not rendering properly. Is there a planned fix or a possible work around for this issue?
