Firefox renders blank gray box only - hardware accelleration

Since upgrading the ati-driver and linux kernel to the current latest versions I am not able to use firefox without using safe-mode. I suspect the problem has to do with hardware acceleration. In safe-mode it all seems to work correctly, however in normal mode all I get is a empty gray window which after some random clicking renders the window content.

I have already deleted my profile to rule out any issues created by non-standard plugins and add-ons.
