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.
