Street View (google maps) not working on Firefox with SNA

I have a problem with Firefox when trying to use Street View in Google Maps. It basically kills the browser by being extremely slow. Now, this happens only when using SNA acceleration (default), but not with UXA or GLAMOR (just removed on latest update or xf86-video-intel). Everything else works fast and good with SNA, including WebGL in Firefox. Moreover, with Chromium I don't have this issue: Street View works fine with SNA.

This is an Intel based laptop with Gen5 Intel graphics (and in case it matters, I use KDE desktop):

# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SNA
[455944.801] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Ironlake (gen5) backend

Anyone else noticed this? Any idea of what can be the problem?
