Following up on a suggestion from Alex in question 174159, I checked this on a laptop with ATi graphics (fglrx) and a VirtualBox VM as well as workstations with NVIDIA graphics (nvidia-current) and the problem only occurs on the NVIDIA machines. I have not yet tested with nv.
Several people have suggested upgrading to Firefox 7 from ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable and that does seem to work around the problem but for our district-wide deployment we prefer to use fully supported Ubuntu packages.
Other folks who are affected, can you comment on the possible NVIDIA connection?
