Firefox is leaving bits of its menus all over the screen--how do I fix it?

Any graphic or menu that exceeds the boundaries of the Firefox window may leave bits behind. Example:

Over at the right side, you can see that not only did the bookmark display not get cleaned up _outside_ the window, but it even made the window controls disappear.

Refreshing the display will clear the mess outside the window; minimizing and re-expanding the Firefox window will clear it inside. But it just keeps happening.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Cor-El, thanks for the suggestion. It looks like the hardware acceleration is the culprit on my system--once I turned it off, the problem went away.

Now I get to search for updated drivers, to see if I can fix the problem properly... :)
