As of a week ago, when I use gmail in Firefox on one machine, the icons for trashcan, refresh, settings, etc do not appear normal but appear as squiggly lines (I have a jpg if you want to see what I mean, but they almost look like something you would use on an android device or something.)

In IE they look normal, and from the same account on other machines I have, they look fine. Rebooting does not help and I have made no changes to the machine recently. This is the only program that seems affected.

I know this machine has an old version of FF on it, but it worked well until a week ago. i do not really want to upgrade it. I really like this version.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
