firefox has venetian blind look after ubuntu 15.10 upgrade
Both Firefox and Thunderbird are unreadable after installation. Rolling over a hyperlink turns it into a jumble of characters. I have an Intel® G33 x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics machine.

Can you attach a screenshot?

- Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
- Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Opened Firefox in safe mode. No change. It must have something to do with Mozilla's lack of support for Flash? Started to lose resolution with 15.04 upgrade. Mozilla apps now useless. Using Chrome (after Firefox, not impressed), which doesn't have the blinds look but now my screensaver is displaying some of the same characteristics so maybe the Intel chip? I've done the Intel driver updates but they haven't offered anything for 15.10 as of yet.
Does it help if you try to disable that Intel driver and use a generic graphics display driver?
That's one I've never tried. What's the method to do that?
Just updated Intel graphics for 15.04 to see if that would help. Nothing... This seems more and more like a problem with Ubuntu/Intel that ultimately effects things globally.
