I had the following problem in Firefox 31 under Windows 8.1: Text in form fields got blurry for a few seconds after scrolling, then became crisp again. The same problem had been described by user lksd here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/953209 The solution was to type about:config in the address bar and to reset gfx.direct3d.last_used_feature_level_idx to default (= delete) instead of "0".

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then check ALL of your settings; Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

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