I'm on 7.1 Prerelease refreshed a few days ago. I've noticed that Firefox 3 (3.0.4, but 3.0.3 was the same) displays snippets from ones desktop on some webpages (yahoo and youtube being the 2 most recent).

I've tried to get together a simple test page to illustrate what is happening and put it here:

http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/markir/test.html

This should display some text on a grey background (which it does in Epiphany for instance). However in Firefox 3 it uses my desktop background as the web page background in some strange way. Any ideas?

I have also seen this with Firefox 3. I see it often. It's not an image rendering issue or anything like that. It's a portion of the window filled by a copy of something else on the display. I even see it on simple table displays.

I see it on both my laptop and my desktop systems and, even if I click STOP before any artifacts are shown, they still start to appear and continue to get worse until the display is unreadable.
