Please don't write in ALL CAPS, it is hard to read and considered shouting.

Let's try a few things here:

Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

Hi, firstly, i apologise for writing in caps on my earlier post. I have tried the suggestions you posted for me but to no avail, I am using hardware accelleration, [tried it on/off], and i also changed the webgl to true /false and back n forth, do you think my problem could be because i am using a dongle and maybe the signal isnt "steady" enough ?. it is strange because u-tube/video etc all play fine, i have checked for all windows updates and non are needed, also flash/java all up to date, I am still at a loss but thank you for your time and help, if u have any more ideas I will be glad to try them, thanks again, phantom6629.

Hello phantom6629, you are using Firefox 18.0 !!! it is in aurora (offers functionality that has undergone only basic testing)!!! think if the problem is there. I suggest to go to stable version (16.0.2).

thank you

i switched to aurora only because i was hoping problem wouldnt exist in new set up, but, alas, it is still here, in fact, i think its worse in aurora lol, i will switch to normal firefox and try with webgl turned true/false etc [all tests as stated b4 ], i will keep you updated as to my situation,. this tuesday coming, i get a secure line connection from BT, i.e. i wont be using dongle, and i am hoping that will solve the prob, fingers crossed, toes, eyeballs etc etc, thanx for help and time tho...Phantom..
