Recently, I've been having trouble scrolling. No matter what webpage I'm on, when I scroll it sometimes mends what's on the page together and turns it into colorful bars. I've also noticed that in order to temporarily fix the problem, I have to switch tabs. One thing that caught my eye as this started happening was the top right corner of the window. The Exit, Restore Down, and Minimize options seem to be faded out, as if they're unavailable. They work properly, but that's just one thing I noticed as this started happening. I have a screenshot to help explain the problem. Anyone else experience this issue, and know how to fix it?

After the above, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
