Gmail seems to be the worst site. Alphabet letters and numbers are missing from words and dates in subject lines. Same in the left folders column. Elsewhere, photos will not display properly. I'll only get bits of an image. Refreshing may resolve the problem momentarily but then it reoccurs. I reinstalled Firefox, but that didn't fix the problem.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
