firefox -remote during max mode makes window turn blank

[GoogleCodeExporter]

  This is kind of an odd one that came up recently, I have used a script to
start Firefox which if there is a current Firefox window up, it calls
firefox  -remote "openurl(about:blank)", then focuses the Firefox window.

 Under some very specific circumstances, when I call this script, it turns
the Firefox window completely blank. The window fixes itself when I try to
re-size the Firefox window with the mouse

  Steps to reproduce are below. Following these steps (not using the
script), I was able to reproduce it most of the time so far (though not
100% of the time), so there may be something that I am missing.

  The script is attached for clarity, though that script is not necessary
to reproduce the issue using the steps below

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open 2 terminals in the same column
2. open a firefox window in the same column at the bottom
3. set the column to max mode, focus the first terminal
4. in the terminal that is selected, execute /etc/firefox/firefox  -remote
"openurl(about:blank)" 
(when I say to run Firefox, I am not talking about the script I use in that
last step, by that i mean executing /etc/firefox/firefox like the script does)

What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating
system (uname -a)?
wmii-hg2706

I left out the final step here, and that would be to direct focus down to the 
firefox
window. a screenshot of this is attached

Also, this only happens in max mode, stack seems to be unaffected
