FWIW I am also seeing this.  I thought that it was due to some strange
video card issue.  I just installed NetBSD -current on this server and
so I had no previous NetBSD history on it.  I didn't relate it to
Firefox because I thought I saw it in other programs as well but I
can't recall them now.  Opera does not seem to have this issue.

I am going to install Thunderbird and see if that has the same
behaviour.
