loading this web page makes the panels disappear

[Melissa Reid]

When the page http://blog.oup.com/2009/03/science-fiction/ is displayed in firefox, the top and bottom panels disappear and the screen flickers as if they are repeatedly trying and failing to restart (and I think Nautilus crashed). Selecting a new tab or switching desktops makes the panels come back; opening a new firefox window in front of the one with the tab selected does not work, even if it hides the other window completely. I have no idea which package to file this against.

I am running Ubuntu 8.10; last updated April 6 (today).

firefox is 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.2
gnome-panel is 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1
nautilus is 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2
