I'm seeing the same behavior. I searched around on the web a while ago and saw 
a report (on a firefox bug issue or mailinglist I think) from another FreeBSD 
user about this. He later followed up to his own post saying that the problem 
went away after he recompiled ALL of his ports. The thing that was 
interesting is that he only saw the bad behavior under xfce (what WM are you 
using, btw?).  I'm running xfce 4.4.0 and have the problem, but I haven't 
gotten around to recompiling everything yet. I may or may not wait for the 
modularXorg stuff to be committed before I do so...
