Thanks again.

You can try to deselect Use hardware acceleration when possible in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > General. Please also note that Windows 8 isn't officially supported until Firefox 14.

Another option would be to install Nightly alongside the current Firefox. You can create another profile and switch between the profiles for Firefox and Nightly. This would help to keep your personal data like bookmarks, history etc. from possible corruption when switching versions. If the currently installed NVidia graphics drivers are officially compatible with Windows 8 and the graphics problem repeats in Nightly, it would be helpful if you could file a report @ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
