Web pages, like YouTube and Amazon display black patches or the same section of the page over and over.
Latest version of Firefox. The page becomes a mess. I move my cursor over a part of the page and it turns black. Often a section of the page repeats itself, over and over. I have to exit Firefox and the page works correctly for a while and start up with the same problem because the page becomes unusable.

Thank you for your reply. I'm trying one solution at a time. Disabling hardware acceleration seems to be doing something positive. I'll give it some time to be sure. Anyway, I apologize for the delay in my response. I'm not used to this format. But I finally saw, in small print, how to respond to you.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
