Screen flashes black with Firefox 4
Hi, I just intalled Firefox 4 on my laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. Since them, every time I open firefox or just a new tab my screen flashes black for a split second for a couple of times. Any idea of what the problem may be?

I have the same problem. Same OS too.

Similar problem for me : I get a black screen on startup. Then some times when I open new tab, or each time I customize the interface : the black screen appears for a couple of seconds. Another issue: occasionally the firefox window sparkles, it's very disturbing.

Turn off "hardware acceleration" in tools/options. Worked for me.
I had a simular problem where menus and the url suggestions box flashes whenever I move the mouse or types a character. Turning off hardware acceleration worked for me.
Thanks. It seems to have worked, so far at least!
Actually, I have to rectify the previous post. Even after turning off Harware Acceleration I still have the same problem, or maybe somewhat less frequently.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, where has Tools/Options gone?
I can't find any tools menu in the new Firefox, and searches for options for turning off hardware acceleration are turning up nothing.
I have the same issue...downgraded to 3.6
Same here. And since some of the tools I use (Google Toolbar, McAfee Siteadvisor) aren't ready for version 5, I won't be installing it until they are.
This problem appears to have been fixed in Firefox 5, even with hardware acceleration turned on
