Bug Description

I am using Hardy Alpha 1.

I opened another window so that Firefox lost focus and was greyed out. When I clicked back into Firefox, it was perfectly usable, but it stays grey.

I will attach a screenshot.

I have the same problem using 7.10 final (fully updated).

I have narrowed the problem down a bit however. When firefox "freezes" to the grey, it will return to normal color when working again, UNLESS, it is minimized during the "grey" period.
