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

I've already tried this, but it didn't solve the problem. This was never an issue with the previous version of Firefox, so it seems pretty obvious that a change made in the new software caused the problem. It needs to be found and fixed ASAP!
