I would like to ask for help the following phenomenon:

"the firefox application is not allowed to access the graphics hardware"

This error message appears, at times, and then restart the browser once in a while it's all good.Do not use any accessory.Operating system: Win 8.1 64 bit Oh, even so much that the virus and malware search engine does not find anything.

Any idea?Thank you very much.
