It seems to be a problem when repainting tabs that were on particularly
complex web sites.  I my case, trying to repaint the one from the US
National Weather Service (www.weather.gov).  Curiously, reloading a
YouTube user page works fine.

I seem to recall seeing this before and the only way to "fix" it is to
at least terminate the Xsession (resetting the server) or reboot the
workstation.

I tried refreshing the NWS page again and got a little more information
when firefox52 quit:

[...]
