When a page first loads, everything seems fine. But if I need to scroll down, the new area revealed is almost always corrupted to the point I can't read it. Reloading the page clears the problem. If I then scroll back to the top of the page, again, its corrupted.

This happens in Firefox Nightly. When I go to Firefox, the 32 bit version, everything is fine.

Nightly is a pre-alpha version of Firefox so you shouldn't have high hopes that everything will work on it. It gets updated every night (hence Nightly) and developers can take out/add anything at any time thus breaking things and not making it stable for regular users. Nightly isn't supported here so I suggest you stay on Firefox 30 to avoid problems like this.

I think mozillaZine does give support but maybe someone like the-edmeister who have been around mZ for a while can give more info.
