Well ever since the update, the screen when i am using mozilla just goes black a few times, blinks in blacka nd sometimes hangs. This happens a lot of times. Also happens when i scroll down using my mouse and i am unable to scroll down by manually dragging down the scroll slider located on the right side of the browser. I am not sure how to solve this, i tried unintalling my add ons but still no dice. Could somone help me about this???

When you say your screen goes black do you mean your Firefox window or your entire computer screen?

Do you have any Themes installed in Firefox?

From the Firefox menubar, select Tools -> Add-ons, then Appearance. If anything but the default theme shows up there, try disabling the non-default theme and restart your browser.

I can't tell from your troubleshooting report what video card you're using. Is the driver up-to-date?

Your report also shows 2 add-ons, but no data about plug-ins. Running any plug-ins?
