Firefox "blacks out" when using switchable graphics
Hi,
I have a HP laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6008eo, it has graphic cards: - AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5) - Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics When I switch between these, which I do when I plug in/out the charge in order to save battery life, firefox blacks out.

I had the same problem with the HP Pavilion dm4 I started using this week.
I couldn't find any way to stop it from happening within apps. But I found that if you stop it from switching to the power saving adapter (See: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/I-wish-to-disable-Switchable-Graphics-on-a-DV7-4030ed/td-p/344302) that it stops.
Obviously this impacts your life on battery. But it's a fair tradeoff rather than losing the ability to use any open FF windows. At least until someone can declare a real solution.
@Ted_H Thanks for the link, I think however that this is a FF-bug to and hopefully there is someone there who can solve the issue! :)
There must be many people out there having our problem!
