[Bug 584034] [NEW] Firefox blackens the screen. Restart required.

[Mark Jones]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox in Lucid seems to randomly blank out the screen to black.
Occasionally has some white blocks flash off and back on. Tried getting
to a TTY and was unable to see anything on any of them. Not sure what
the issue is. Pushing the PC power button shuts it down and its the only
seeming way of correcting the issue to get back to a desktop.
