[Bug 1161976] [NEW] Firefox 19: screen/tab contents do not refresh/react until alt+tabbing to another application and then back.

[indigocat]

Public bug reported:

Firefox 19: screen/tab contents do not refresh/react until alt+tabbing to another application and then back.
Current view/tab frozen, cannot scroll / click.

When ctrl+tabbing to another tab, the new tab's contents are not shown;
they are only refreshed after switching to another application and back.
Then, contents are shown, but no mouseclicks are received.

It doesn't matter how many tabs are currently open; this has happened
with 5, 28 or 70 tabs open.

Already tried uninstalling all extensions and x-swat-updates for intel driver; even a fresh OS install (Ubuntu 12.04 amd64)
Firefox doesn't even respond to Ctrl+Q properly, it must be shut down via terminal > killall firefox

Has this happened to any of you ever?
Thanks in advance.
