Looking back at the archives you seem to have more problems than you can
shake a stick at.
I tried very hard today to get FF into the condition you're reporting and
could not. I went on eBay, YouTube, CNN,
mlb.com, NYtimes and a whole bunch
of other places. I had 8 tabs open including Facebook and G+. No issues.
But, I also don't have any addons or extensions to firefox since that isn't
my browser of choice.
It's not easily reproducible, but it does happen a lot for me, too.
Even with JS switched off and Flash killed.
