Chosen solution

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

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

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

If you have an ATI graphics display try to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver:

  • Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Disable Morphological Filtering
