Why is display "disintegrating" when I page or scroll?

When a page is first displayed, looks ok. Scroll down, usually ok. When I scroll back up, text is not displayed correctly, as if pixels are scrambled. It happened on this site, when I was registering, and I did not even scroll. The browser just redisplayed a sentence, and it was scrambled.

hello, it might be 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 firefox > options > advanced > general.

Thanks for the quick reply. Did not have time to update driver, but disabling the hardware acceleration solved the problem!
