I have a strange problem. It is best described by the attached picture. These spots appear only in Mozilla, nowhere else. They come in many situations, for example when I change a tab, or maximise mozilla or try to type the website. Possibility that they come is like 30% on every click.

Since plug-ins are out of date : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Note that this is likely a problem with hardware acceleration.
