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?

regards

Firefox 3 has been rendering some corrupted images for me since its release. Some images would render as fully or partially black, others would render with bits of Firefox toolbar and even others would render with different portions of the web page and other X11 applications. Xorg log would show spammed "Render bad image" messages. Opera renders correctly, except it breaks malloc (e.g. mplayer will fail to allocate memory while Opera is running). I've kept ports up to date, and have even rebuilt all ports, but nothing fixes these problems. These problems continue to occur on even the latest 7-STABLE builds.
