Seems you've got an issue between X and firefox3; at least there's
a note in the firefox3 release notes which desribes similar effects:

Oh, but by the way, it's not an nvidia/nv issue; I've got the exactly
same issues with radeonhd... Luckily, I do not depend that much on
web browsers, let alone firefox3.
