I am using Aurora 32.0a2 on OS X 10.8.5. (Updated 2 days ago.)

When I open a new tab in the background, the Aurora interface gets all weird. Screenshot- ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27547130/_transient/aurora/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-19%20at%204.48.59%20PM.png ) When the background tab finishes loading, everything 'renders' back to normal.

A lot of sites are also not displaying correctly. Screenshot- ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27547130/_transient/aurora/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-19%20at%204.53.11%20PM.png ) The Google Maps page loaded normally. When I clicked on zoom in or zoom out, things start going white.

(Even this textfield that I am trying to type into - everythign went white. I had to type this report elsewhere and paste it in.)

Are you aware that Aurora is an Alpha 2 level developers build which is intended for serious software testers?

Aurora updates everyday and some times twice per day, when something breaks in a big way.

1. Update via Help > About Aurora 2. If that doesn't solve your issues, try clearing the cache and cookies.

I'm running Aurora on Mac OS 10.8.5. I started having the whiteout problem after a daily update about a week ago; I've never experienced it in 3 years of using Aurora. So far, I tried restarting Aurora, deleting cache and cookies, doing a reset, disabling suspected add-ons (Ad-block and Element Hide for Ad-block). I also since updated it multiple times, my current version is 32.0a2 (2014-06-30). There are two major types of white outs - on the tab headers, and elements on the page itself. All page tabs usually white out when one of the pages loads or updates. On the page, a floating element can white-out on page scroll, page load complete, or on pop-up. Sometimes, I can see an element being loaded and rendered correctly, but then it goes all-white once the page is loaded or scrolled. Sometimes images are whited-out as well. Examples below show white-out on mail.yahoo.com security confirmation box and also on a page close confirmation box on http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/mapss/ .
