Ghost images show up on Firefox browser but stay after window closes. Is that a way to stop this?

When I open a firefox session it creates two square ghost images on the screen. The images are sections of the previous view. They show up when I scroll up the page. The images stay on the screen after you close the window. I have tried graphics drivers and I change resolution up and down to get them to go away. This works until I open firefox again. IE does not create these problems.

You might need to disable Firefox's use of your graphics card, as there have been some glitches since the release of this feature.

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Does that fix it?
