Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.

i tried everything you suggests. but everything is same till now :(
Did you clear all cookies and the cache? Did you shut down Hardware Acceleration? Did you try accessing the page in safe mode? Do you have any kind of blocking software or add-ons?

Experimental Features
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Hardware Acceleration causes all kinds of issues. Yet Firefox defaults it as on. Strange.
