Hey there, Overall, Firefox is just amazing. I registered this forum just report a bug about the Back-Button visual issue. The Back-Button in Firefox looks broken visually on start. When I open Firefox and enter any website, Back-Button looks visually broken. But later it look okay. I've taken some screen shots about that, but don't know how to attach them here. I am running windows 8 on my computers. Don't know about other OS users, if they are experiencing the same issue or not.

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

Thanks for your reply, I've attached screenshots. As you can see, the Back-Button looks visually disturbed.

hello, probably that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Thanks for your reply. I've got very good graphics card and I've latest drivers installed on my computers. Before reporting this, I tested this on multiple computers, cleared all browsing history and cache and experiencing the same issue. As I mentioned before, I'd experience this problem when I'd start Firefox and enter any website, but if I'd navigate to multiple webpages, it get fixed automatically.

how is it working with hardware acceleration disabled?

In fact that's not an issue for a common user. and yeah, after disabling "Hardware Acceleration" my problem was solved. So that means I've do disable this feature at all...? Isn't it a bug? Disabling that hardware feature won't affect online gaming? If not, kindly guide me what's the benefit of this feature.

could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information on each affected system, copy the graphics section of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on and help gathering information for a bug report...
