Experimental Features

thank you. can you please disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general and see if that helps (the setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

hi again, mozilla's developer's are looking into the issue but are looking for more information. if disabling hardware acceleration helped in your case, would you be so kind to run another test for us:

• first please re-enable hardware-acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general again and restart the browser.
• download and install firefox 48.0.2 again from https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-48.0.2&os=win
• in firefox 48.0.2 go to the menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this will help us understand the issue...

thanks a lot! (afterwards you can update to 49 and disable hwa again for the moment)

thank you for the follow-up information you posted at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1141189

please try the following in order to fix the problem: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named layers.allow-d3d9-fallback. double-click it and change its value to false and then restart the browser once...
