Happens after long periods of Firefox remaining open. (at least 2 days) This is not a freeze. Only the website turns white... except for any embedded flash objects like youtube videos and chat interfaces. refreshing the page displays the website again but scrolling will turn everything white again. This makes it impossible to read websites that start you back at the top of the page with ever refresh...

Restarting Firefox temporarily "fixes" the problem ... and then 2 days later it starts again. I am up to date with Firefox 29.0.1
