This is strange, but it could be driver issue. Firstly the scrolling
problem happen when someone had a compiz enabled on HW without
GLX_PIXMAPsomething support, also you could try to switch off the smooth
scrolling. But anyway, the drawing of gui itself.. strange. You could
maybe get a precompiled Firefox package from mozilla pages, and check with
it.
I really do have a bunch or problems with radeon driver on 9200 card with
OS driver right now, but firefox is not among them.
