Hi all, I am experiencing a strange bug in Firefox. Web content aren't displaying at all after I restart Firefox for the first time. The page loads everything correctly though (in the bottom left corner you can see all domains and web services being loaded when entering a page). Mouse hovers, SSL work fine too. After I reinstall or refresh Firefox everything works. But as soon as I close and reopen it it is broken. I use the newest versions of both Ubuntu and Firefox. Can someone help me with this?
