While using Firefox - if I leave my screen idle for just a few minutes - when I return, all of my tabs are completely black. There is no fixing or recovering. Even opening a new tab in the window, the initial screen is normal but once I type in an address it turns black as well. The only fix is closing the entire window and starting over. Please help, as Firefox is my go-to browser for work and I work in many tabs simultaneously.
