Screen randomly gets corrupted

Regardless of what sites I am browsing the screen can get corrupted, including menu bars, download windows, etc. This also includes minimizing Firefox to go do something else in Windows, and all or part of the Firefox screen will pop back up, but will be more like a "ghost image" of it, i.e. mousing over things will reveal what *should* be there, making that part of the Firefox ghost-image disappear. This also happens to a lesser extent with Thunderbird.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

That didn't seem to help.

However I have been running with NoScript disabled for a few days now, and haven't had the problem recur. I'll have to re-enable it and see if the problem starts cropping up again.
