Title:
  pdf fies shown as blank pages at random time

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  open any pdf file in Firefox, such as http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/ADXL330.pdf or http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/DE-ACCM3D.pdf

  At random times, when opening a pdf, only a black page is shown during
  some seconds, after which only a completely empty white page is shown.
  The status bar says "Done", there's no error message nor any
  indication of anything being wrong.

  The issue is intermittent, and happens every once in a while. The very
  same file, if I retry later, may be shown perfectly.
