I am using v 10.02 and this is only a recent problem. I have been using Firefox for years and this has never been a problem until now. When the screen goes black it stays black for 3-4 seconds and then shows the regular content again. As soon as you scroll down the page again it goes black again for 3-4 more seconds. This is very frustrating - I cannot be the only one with this problem. I have opened firefox in safe mode to eliminate all plugins and it still persists on some pages. If there is no way to fix it I will be forced back to explorer as this is so annoying. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Profiler114ca

Hi Profiler114ca, I've been where you are now, unfortunately it took me to upgrade to Windows 7 to stop a huge amounts of bugs that are a characteristic of Windows Vista. Hope you can upgrade and check for yourself that it saves you a lot of issues, the video processing architecture was modified in W7 in order to stop "little things" like this.
