One work-around that does appear to work for me under Gnome under 64
bit: Once you see the first tear or flicker, shutdown firefox, drop
to the command line, and ensure that firefox and npviewer.bin are no
longer running. If they are, kill them. After this you can restart
firefox again and advert (more like cheat) the blank-screen-of-death.
