Colored horizontal lines on new blank tabs?
On random new blank tabs, using FF 7.01, horizontal lines appear, taking the whole screen width and several pixels height. I have seen black lines mostly, but also light blue, gray, brown and orange. I have made a screenshot too. I tried safe mode with addons disabled, the problem still exists.

I'am having the same problem ..but with windows no Firefox on this computer. I bought a dell 8300 from Goodwill and Ubuntu is the operating sys. I'am trying to get use to it also.I'am having no problems with 'lines' there. thank you for letting me put my two cents in.
In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

What the heck are these random ass lines on different spots on my screen whenever I open a new tab? My display driver is working fine and up to date and I even checked it in Safe mode.
I swear there's always bugs in these new browser updates and you guys (FIREFOX) take forever to address them.
FIX IT NOW.
