Why is my Screen is garbled with wrong pixels

The text for Mozilla (not other programs) has many pixels wrong. Some areas where there is supposed to be a part of text is white, and some areas that are supposed to be white have other color pixels.

It stays like that even when scrolling. But if I mark the text and then unmark, that area is fixed.

I can send a screen shot or two, but I don't see how to send attachments.

On this forum, for some reasons, you have to reply to yourself to add attachments.

Could you try turning off these three features and see whether that makes any difference:

  • Smoothing scrolling
  • Autoscrolling
  • Firefox hardware graphics acceleration

To turn those off, go to this part of the Options dialog:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > "General" mini-tab

Note that you usually have to restart Firefox before the third change goes into effect.
