Flash content gets obscured by other tabs in Firefox

I've had this problem for a while where when I'm viewing flash content in Firefox, changing to another tab and back again causes the content to be obscured by the previous tab, like this:

(click for full size)

I'm using flashplugin 11.2.202.336-1 from the official pacman repositories and Firefox 27.0.1, also from the official pacman repositories. It doesn't happen all the time, and refreshing the page fixes it, but it's annoying especially when returning to a long video after checking another tab.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there any way I can fix this?

Thanks!

Anything interesting in the logs or systemd's journal?

What hardware and video drivers are you using?

I do get this in the log when switching from Xorg to tty2 and back (doing this guarantees it to happen, aside from that it happens randomly):

That's the only thing I could find. I have two monitors.

Sorry, I should have mentioned what drivers I'm using. I'm using the nvidia drivers:

nvidia 331.38-2

with a GT 320.

Thanks.
