There is an opaque blue screen appearing on tabs sometime
Hello everyone,
I recently got malware in my computer by accidentally installing an application. Firefox's search engine and homepage kept changing, uninstalled the application and addons but still they kept coming back until I ran "Malware Bytes".
Now, only sometimes, I see an opaque blue layer on my tabs and the Minimize, Max, Close buttons. What is it? Does anyone has an idea? I am afraid it is related to the malware I got infected with.

It's probably an issue with the hardware acceleration or Aero on Win 7.
Could you type about:support in the location bar and copy here the section "graphics".

2013 is old for your Intel drivers, there are drivers from 2015: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit
Could you verify your CPU is in the list of the driver release, and update the driver, please.

Thanks for pointing it out buddy. I have updated my drivers. Here is the updated screenshot. If this problem reappears, I will share here. Many many thanks for your support
Verify too that hardware acceleration is enabled in FF settings: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-disable-hardware-acceleration
