Have you tried to reproduce the same steps by opening firefox in Safe mode ? Read more : http://mzl.la/1xKrE7R ? Also Turn off "Hardware Acceleration" by going Menu > Options > Advance > General > Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available. Now exit and restart your firefox again and see if the problem solved.
