[Bug 849089] [NEW] Compiz crashes if firefox is running for a long time

 

Public bug reported:

Compiz (0.9.4.0) crashes often on my system when im using firefox(6.0.2) for a long time. It happens when it does flash related stuff like playing youtube video and all. It had also crashed once i was navigating through a pdf document on Document Viewer(2.32.0), but Firefox was running in the background.
When it happens, the titlebar and borders of windows will disappear. But if the compiz process is killed through the task manager(System Monitor > Processes) compiz gets restarted and everything is fine. But if i use compiz --replace, all other windows except the terminal window in which the command is run will be restored.
