This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

That seemed to work. I disabled all plugins/extensions and renabled them one by one.

So far the issue seems to have been revised.

Thank you for the prompt response.
