Question Firefox 2 Window Refresh Issue - FC6 (x86_64)


I'm getting some odd behaviour from Firefox (2.0.0.6) on Fedora Core 6. Sporadically while I'm navigating around, the main Firefox pane/window doesn't refresh to show the new page. If I resize the window this seems to trigger something and the window refreshes.

This doesn't happen all the time though I haven't noticed any patterns in the behaviour. Firefox is the only app I have this issue with.

I've searched around for similar issues but haven't found anything that matches so far- any suggestions?

Thanks

Sounds like inadequate graphics hardware/drivers. Then again, it's not surprising when you mention the word "Fedora" in the same sentence as your gripe.
I had Fedora Core 6, took two weeks to get it on-line, had to download some updates with Windows before it happened, and then there was the "dependency hell" thing to deal with. Then I downloaded and installed Fedora 7 x86_64, some days it booted up in normal amounts of time, some days it took ten minutes and everything was at a snail's pace till it was re-booted. A couple days ago I gave it another chance and downloaded the 32bit version and installed it in Vmware on a Windows XP Pro host, after f**king around for a couple days trying to get it updated, I banged my head against the wall four times and deleted it, snapped the DVD in half and chucked it.
I like the blue balloon desktop!
