Whenever this starts occuring, the status bar will also start flickering between showing link's target href value and nothing, and tooltips (that would normally pop up on hover) appear briefly then disappear. The same thing happens with Javascript dropdown menus, which make it nearly impossible then to navigate a Java-based site.
I run Firefox on one desktop replacement laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400), one netbook (Asus Eee 1000), and one PC (the one I'm making this report from) and all of them have the same problem, even when I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of FF, and even when using different combinations of extensions.
Identical prblem reported here, but with Ubuntu:

but no solution. I'm completely stumped, and increasingly annoyed.
