hello, that looks like an issue with hardware acceleration. please try updating your graphics driver - this should be the right link for your configuration: [http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
or in case this doesn't solve the issue disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

Note that such issues can also be caused by overheating of the graphics display card, so if you have tweaked settings then try a setting with less strain. You can also check the temperature of the GDU if that is possible.

as I said, I have a custom liquid cooling system with constant temp monitoring. My highest temp in my comp is 35c.
