Here's a bug report:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414928

And here's another:

The second suggests adding

     Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"

in xorg.conf like this:

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Card0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
         Option     "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
         ...
EndSection

An alternate might be switching to AccelMethod EXA.
