I'm running the latest version of Firefox, Silverlight, and Flash on Mac OSX 10.8.5 with the latest software updates.

As soon as I start using silverlight (for example, if start streaming netflix in one tab) parts of other pages go white. See links below for examples.

It only happens when I begin using silverlight, and it happens every time I use silverlight, so I don't see how it can be anything else. I have no other issues with other browsers. Restarting FF fixes it, but only until I start running silverlight again.

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
