[Bug 203222] Re: Firefox Disappears For No Apparent Reason

[Pipps]

I am also experiencing a serious problem with Firefox disappearing, for
me, in Firefox 3.0.3. I think it's the same problem as is afflicting
everyone else. Allow me to clarify the nature of the problem.

When viewing a video in Youtube, either whilst I am watching the video,
or whilst the video is playing music whilst I'm working elsewhere in the
room, or when a loaded video is simply paused and ready to play, the
Youtube screen portal will for no apparent reason simply vanish.

There is no warning, no other activity on or off the screen, and no
apparent explanation. Firefox remains open, and remains at the page
which had previously been displaying the content which I had been
viewing. However, the video section of the Youtube webpage simply
vanishes and turns to the same shade of white as the rest of the
background of the Youtube webpage. The problem is mystifying!

And yes, this only happens with Youtube in Firefox. It has never
happened with any other website or application. And just to clarify, my
sound works perfectly in Firefox.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem, which appears to be so
widespread, and what can be done to fix it?

Also, are all the people who are experiencing this problem, also
experiencing it in a Ubuntu Linux environment?
