Firefox Desktop 15.0.1 Displays Artifacts at bottom of page when scrolling up or down
Black artifacts flickering at bottom of window when scrolling up or down. It is a black bar with no content, sometimes occupying 30% of bottom part of window.
However, Microsoft offered an emergency fix-it for IE on September 20, 2012. This problem went away for few hours. Installing the critical update for IE allowed FF to run without this issue for two days after install on September 23rd.
Why that would be, I cannot say.
Have a screenshot of FF when this happens. Bar is very small ATM, but flickers just the same. Normal artifact extends from left side to right side; only a partial bar is caught with this screenshot.
Where to attach screenshot?

Here is a screenshot attached below:
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Only affects the windows system. FF hardware acceleration works just fine in Ubuntu and is enabled. 5FPS on that system.
Disabled hardware accel in windows, good to go.
Thanks for the tip.
