I have installed new version of firefox in my 64bit laptop, but now in any site which has box-shadow property of css , seems not working properly. 

All the elements which has this property makes cross lines in this browser. It doesn't looks very well and even the UI is totally changed.

That looks weird.

Does disabling hardware acceleration help?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Hello Dear,

Thanks for the reply.

As attached image I have marked the UI changes which does not look good and which is coming because of box - shadow CSS property.

cross lines from the opposite corners through the image are shown which looks not very well.

This is happen whenever I open any site which used box-shadow property.

The image button and some background images were changed so I feel discomfort when navigating any site.

The above trick is works for me.

I have disabled the "Use hardware acceleration when available" and now it looks completely fine.

Many many thanks !!!
