Don't know if it's relevant to create new issues and put their status to fixed right away :)
Just trying to help anyone that encounters the same.

I had the jCarousel embedded in my Drupal site and whenever I had it open in Firefox 3.6.13 and opened a new tab (with another site in it) or alt tabbed to another browser, the jCarousel would dissapear.

A bit more "research" shows this was due to the fact that I had Firebug opened in Firefox. This would screw up some of the css positioning invoqued by the jCarousel module.

Closing down Firebug fixed this (non)issue :)

Hope to help someone with htis.

hmm
tagging this as "fixed" might have been too optimistic.

I get the above described behaviour when I double click the Titlebar in Firefox (to toggle between fullscreen/no-fullscreen mode).

The Carousel dissapears (and only the sliding-out animation is shown).

(Rescaling the browser by dragging the sides of the browserwindow doesn't generate this behaviour.)

I wasn't gonna let this go.

Seemed my "issue" boiled down to a CSS related one.
So not to be pinned down to (the code of) this module.

Sorry to have started this thread too soon, should have investigated more before posting.

Just to be complete, for the interested.
This is what happened.

I was using the jCarousel in a way that the main image was loaded as a DIV background (so I could put other divs over it in an easy way)

this was my code inside my view tpl file

print "<div id='carousel' style='background-image:url(" . $fields['field_business_carousel_fid']->content  . ");width:310px;height:323px;background-repeat:no-repeat'>";

Problem was that I didn't have a definition yet for the id "carousel"
So adding:

#carousel{
	float:left;
	width:310px;
}

did the trick.

I can now resize, toggle fullscreen and back, without any issues (even on my Samsung Galaxy S :))

again, sorry for the amateurism. Hope at least this might prove usefull for another amateur :)

my items disappear too one by one on every slide. [in Firefox]
it looks like the UL is going to left:

ul class="jcarousel jcarousel-view--nodequeue-3--block jcarousel-list jcarousel-list-horizontal"

element.style {
    left: -1980px;
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0;
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
    width: 2160px;
}

fixed:
.view-content was with margin-left:30px which causing the element to move left
now is changed to padding-left:30px;
