When I open my bookmarks and they are larger than the Firefox window it leaves the image of the bookmarks on my desktop. It does not effect the browser and when I click on show desktop it goes away, but it is very annoying. I just upgraded tp the latest version of Fifrefox and this was not an issue with the previous version I was using.

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.
