I get similar render erros and have done with firefox for a couple of
years. I get them in web pages, but I'm not sure what causes it. I find
a row of pixels missed out until I select some text on that line, or I
find a duplicated row of pixels. I also sometimes see hyperlinks moving
about as I mouse over them. I think this is a general GTK firefox bug.
