I tend to log in to my user session on Windows7 machine locally. However at times I do connect from remote location.

The problem starts when I try to restore Firefox app window. I cannot see its content.

I tried Windows + left, windows + right .. etc keys. They only move around part of the content of the application window that was shown before activating Firefox. Meaning Firefox windows does not get refreshed.

I have had this problem for quite a while now. I can tell for sure that it is present in FF8, FF9 and after recent update to FF10

Anything I could try?

EDIT: it seems that I can kill firefox and when I restart it UI starts to work. The problem is then that even if my session luckily restores (which often does not happen), it takes awful lot of time to restore hundred tabs, not mentioning loosing state of some of them.

Did you try to deactivate Persistent bitmap caching in the settings of your RDP session? – Alexander Galkin Jan 12 at 22:33

Do you have multiple monitors locally but not remotely, or are the monitors different sizes? Is FireFox in the Taskbar? – shufler Jan 12 at 22:44
@AlexanderGalkin - I have just disabled it and tried in couple of connection speed settings but it does not get better. – user377178 Jan 13 at 11:54
@shufler - I have one or two monitors locally (depends) and just one remotely. The monitors are of different sizes (remote monitor has different resolution than each of the local ones, which in turn differ themselves). Firefox windows are listed on the taskbar and not minimized when I connect remotely. – user377178 Jan 13 at 11:58
Why does the local machine sometimes have one monitor and other times two monitors? When connecting remotely is there always one or two attached (to the local machine) or does it differ? – shufler Jan 13 at 17:30
