[Bug 381946] [NEW] Nvidia drivers 180 and 173 don't work with Openoffice and Firefox.

[Wilson Perdomo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The real annyoing problem is with the drivers for my graphics card. I using the following card:
Code:

nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)

I'm having issues with buttons disappearing in openoffice unless I
refresh the display with the 180 driver. Though the 180 driver works
well considering I'm facing the right click bug. I tried changing my
driver to 173 so after I restart I open openoffice and it works perfect!
Now I open firefox and its very slow and buggy it has almost all the
bugs that you all are reporting! I'm really annoyed by this. I guess I
have no other choice till Nvidia fixes these problems.

Here is the thread about firefox being slow:
