Does this happen every time you use Firefox, or just on some web sites? Have you tried restarting your computer to see if it was just a temporary issue?

If you have already tried that, another thing to try is Firefox Reset: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
