Google Maps Firefox Zoom Level Issue

[WayneG]

I have a recurring problem with FF that doesn’t seem to have a solution. I have an embedded Map frame in my web page and when the map returns the zoom level is not set correctly, so I get the “world” view of the map. I have tried turning off all of the add-ons in the browser, but no luck. Also, I notice that this usually happens when I first start the browser; if I reload the frame or refresh the page, the map returns from Google with the correct zoom level. Has anyone seen this problem before? Is so, did you find a solution?

Adding additional information: 

I am using the Javascript API v3.3

But how do we get to see the map with the problem?

The map is on that linked page. It's in an iframe, though. Here's a better link:

I can't reproduce it (though I saw it occur *once*), but this is likely the flaky code:

    google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(
        ctaLayerx, 'defaultviewport_changed',
        function() {
            google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(
                mapx, 'bounds_changed', 
                function() {
                	var ID = formatElementID(MAP_CANVAS_ID);
                	$(ID).css("visibility","visible");
            });
    });

If I load the page with FF3.6 OS-X
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V7D-508FF03-1&_user=8148485&_coverDate=01%2F31%2F2011&_alid=1642440298&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_origin=search&_zone=rslt_list_item&_cdi=5840&_sort=r&_st=5&_docanchor=&_ct=1&_acct=C000000070&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=8148485&md5=6fdade43bde10e98d30827e1944b6619&searchtype=a

the zoom is set 0 and center (90, -90).

If I load the iframe only
http://elsevier-apps.sciverse.com/GoogleMaps/index.jsp?doi=10.1016%2Fj.cageo.2010.03.006

zoom is set 5. There must be some messaging between frames but I
cannot find it.

You are loading both v2 and v3 API scripts. Your syntax is v3.

I didn't see any errors thrown but that v2 javascript may cause some
unpredictable symptoms. It generates stuff in google.maps namespace as
v3 does.
