stray, random inappropriate pixels appear in images; no such problem in Int Explorer

Viewing images in, for example, Flickr photo streams, stray, random inappropriate pixels appear in images. Reload, the pixels change locations, usually close to the original misbegotten pixels' location. Sometimes multiple patches of wrongly displayed pixels, sometimes a single patch. No such anomaly appears under the same circumstances in Internet Explorer.

I take it back: there is such an anomaly in IE: just not so exaggerated. Sorry to have come to the wrong repair shop. Thanks anyway.

Make sure you you do not overclock your graphics display card as in case it might get too hot.

Thank you for your response. I'm not a person who can control much beyond the on-off switch on the computer. I'm pretty certain it's not a matter of physical heat. I have never seen the stray pixels in Photo Shop, which sometimes works the card pretty hard, I think. It's just viewers inside browsers and in the computer, Windows' native image viewer. Thanks again.

See if it helps to disable hardware acceleration to prevent Firefox from using the GPU on the graphics card.
You may also have bad RAM on that graphics card.
