the browser window appears frozen if it has sat behind other applications for a while, until the window itself is moved(either scrolled, or the window is dragged around the screen).

It's almost like I'm looking at an image of my firefox browser. If I click on tabs in the browser, add new tab or try and edit the url, it appears frozen. I can tell the browser is not frozen because the only thing that does change if I click on tabs is the page title at the very top. Everything else is frozen.

I didn't notice this until FF 7-ish.

If I disconnect the add-on RemoveTabs the problem seems to vanish. Before a week, I did not have the problem. Updat ff 8.0 naar 8.0.1 seems also to remedy the problem
