Description:
My firefox-installation seems to be completely broken. See attached screenshot for a look at what I mean, can't really describe it but it's unusable this way.
Note: I've already tried removing the firefox config, no result and also creating a new virgin user with no settings at all, still the same look (the screenshot is actually from the new user login).
tried on xfce and on kde, no difference.

I have no idea how to even begin debugging this.

Additional info:
* extra/firefox-3.6.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
no idea. On my computer at work, which is also running arch and is at the same package-versions stage (i.e. ran pacman -Syu on both of them yesterday) this does not appear. Nevertheless exact set of installed packages is different.

Please advise on how to proceed from here.

this does make firefox readable again although I'm seeing the same thing as the others in that thread, i.e. scrolling in firefox causes almost 100% cpu ..
also, weren't we supposed to stop using an xorg.conf, it being deprecated and all?

blame your card/video driver.
