Why do my Firefox being flashed all the time?
I have installed the latest version of Firefox from official site, I have also re install the flash player for that but that does not effect much. Because of the flash player i can see the videos, GIF images etc. in Firefox but can not stop flashing Firefox. It's consistently flashing and it flashes more when browsing most importantly when it opened in the background it also flashes the whole screen.

It sounds like this might be related to the the graphics and hardware acceleration. Please consider the following:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Open Firefox Options window (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
- In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
- In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the Advanced tab, then select General.
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

- This second one sounds like a new tab hijack, definitely run the malware scans then. Make sure all the extensions are up to date to prevent future security risks: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
