Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Sometimes when I'm switching between workspaces and coming back to firefox, it will be "frozen" in the sense that it's still running and stable, it just won't update any of it's content area. I'll click a tab I've had open, the title bar will change, but i'll still be seeing the same old tab. I have to close firefox via the X and restart it to get it back to normal.
This bug has happened to me on Intrepid (8.10) (fully updated with 2.6.27-10 x86 kernel) and now Jaunty (9.04 x64) (Linux unknown 2.6.28-2-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 4 21:49:26 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux). It's independent of my profile.
I've had this problem with Compiz set to "full" and "medium".

So with compiz disabled you have not this problem? Then this seems like a compiz issue. If that is the case, the bug should be filed against compiz.
