I experience the same but only when using my laptop. I thought because sometimes I'm on a couch maybe something internal is loosening. So I got to killall firefox and start all over. It doesn't happen on my ADM desktop or the P4 Dell I have at work. I will take a look to the other postings to see if someone have fould why this is happening.
