After upgrading video card to Nvidia GTX670 with 301.64 drivers, all firefox windows show a blue background when scrolling.

The problem goes away if hardware acceleration disabled, but stays when all plugins disabled or smooth scrolling enabled/disabled.

Screen is 1920x1200, Windows 7 64-bit, i7-920 CPU.

As you've confirmed yet again, the hardware acceleration feature doesn't work equally well with all graphics drivers.

I don't know whether there is a place to report specific problem combinations; you could try the Help > Submit Feedback feature, and try to copy/paste from the Graphics section from the bottom of Help > Troubleshooting Information

No problems with previous driver, although that was with a different video card as well.

I cannot try earlier drivers with this video card, as there are no such thing - the card came out last week, and earlier drivers do not recognise it.

Try to look for n alternate driver..
