COMPUTER SWITCHES RANDOMLY FROM WEB PAGE TO DESK TOP
WHILE VIEWING OR READING ON INTERNET, RANDOMLY, THE COMPUTER SWITCHES TO DESKTOP--I GET BLANK SCREEN. BY CLICKING ON THE MOZILLA ICON, THE WEB PAGE COMES BACK. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT VERY FREQUENT AND IS VERY ANNOYING. THIS NEVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST WITH THIS COMPUTER. I CHECKED ALL THE DOWN LOADS, I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY UNWANTED PROGRAM ON THE LIST. IS SOMETHING IN THE BACKGROUND? I RAN SECURITY SCAN, ETC. AND ALSO, RESTORE THE HARD DRIVE TO AN EARLIER DATE--NO HELP!
ANY ONE KNOWS SOLUTION?????

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
