grey boxes with white lines and other display anomalities with firefox
Hi,
When I use firefox I see a grey box of different sizes + white lines instead of a website shown correctly. I attached a screenshot of a typical display of a website in my firefox browser.
Could someone help me to make firefox work as expected?
Thanks.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Thanks @FredMcD. Removing all cookies did not solve the problem. Using Firefox in safe-mode did do the job, so I turned off hardware acceleration and it seems to work fine now.
