Public bug reported:
Today, I updated firefox to version 50.0. This update was offered to me
via the official updates I got for ubuntu 16.04.
After restarting firefox, I get a black tab content when I "open" a web
page. For demonstration, see the screen shot attached.
Note that I still can edit preferences or "about:config". Tabs only go
black for web pages.
I get the black tabs after installing firefox together with this set of updates:
isc-dhcp-client 4.3.3-5ubuntu12.4
isc-dhcp-common 4.3.3-5ubuntu12.4
libfcitx-config4 1:4.2.9.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.1
libfcitx-gclient0 1:4.2.9.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.1
libfcitx-utils0 1:4.2.9.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.1
libprocps4 2:3.3.10-4ubuntu2.2
linux-firmware 1.157.5
procps 2:3.3.10-4ubuntu2.2
python3-distupgrade 1:16.04.18
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:16.04.18
ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk 1:16.04.18
unattended-upgrades 0.90ubuntu0.2
xserver-common 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2
Please not that xserver got updated, too.
The behaviour also remains after a reboot.
Other applications, including Thunderbird, do not show similar
behaviour.
