Having massive problems with parts of the webpages blocked out on beta Firefox 37.1

Parts of the screen disappear or are just blocked out and then reappear and when I click in a different spot on the page. Right click on anything and the window appears but all of the menu is squished together so it's unreadable. Happens in all pages. No particular website is worse than another -- they're all equally messed up. I can not stream anything either. It's TOTALLY dysfunctional. I've tried disabling plugins and extensions, but nothing makes a difference. help!

What Firefox are you using? Current is v37.0.2

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
