Could you attach a screenshot of the problem? I suspect this is a compiz problem and not a firefox bug.

Changed in firefox:

Hi,

firefox extensions are the cause for the majority of bugs reported against firefox.

To check that the bug you are seeing is actually a firefox one (and not an extension one), please disable your extensions one-by-one (restart firefox in between) until there is either no enabled extension left or your problem is resolved.

Please report your findings back.

Thanks,
 - Alexander

to reproduce on stock compiz, with the visual effects set to normal in system -> preferences -> appearance
open firefox.
maximize the firefox window
open a number of tabs (middle click on the BBC news headlines rss bookmark)
then switch between the tabs with the mouse or with CTRL+ Page Up.

it is not specific to firefox, i can reproduce with gnome terminal. it seems to occur when the title of a window changes.
run
while :; do echo -ne "\033]0;`date`\007";sleep 1; done
(changes the tile to the date and time every second)
