You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Can anybody help me please?

Wow,

You opened this thread almost a month ago. Sorry we haven't gotten back to you. It's been a busy week last week with the Firefox 29 launch.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (orange Firefox button, top left corner (The image "new fx menu" does not exist. for v29+)/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: orange Firefox button, top left corner (The image "new fx menu" does not exist. for v29+)/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

Try to disable the YouTube Center extension and possibly reset all prefs by deleting the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

@Moses , cor-el: thanks you guys for support, i tried but still not working :( safe mode, delete prefs.js file make firefox work nice in hours, then matter came back when i typing this post. And i notice same problem in flash animation banner, too. So i thinks problem is about flash, not in add-ons. Because my friend use other computer, and haven't any add-ons, problem happened in his computer, too. I don't want to use other web browser, but firefox is so annoying now.
