Try again to upload your screenshot.

Something quick - try disabling your extension Mint Search Enhancer 1.0.

Try to set the gfx.xrender.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
