I just recently got a 3D HD Monitor for my desktop and I noticed that if nvidia's steroscopic 3D is enabled, firefox (and thunderbird) open as a completely blank white window. If you right click anywhere in the window it shows up as a blacked out rectangle. The minimize, maximize and close buttons do work if you know where to click.

Has been resolved. It was a driver issue, I did a 'clean install' and works fine now.

A clean install of what exactly? Which driver versions worked and which ones didn't?

I had the same problem as I reported in Bug 643316 in March. I uninstalled the 3D Vision drivers at the time and the problem went away. Today when I installed the NVIDIA 285.27 beta, I installed 3D Vision again, and I can no longer reproduce the problem. It did NOT require a clean install for me.
