Intel® HD Graphics 3000

I have thoroughly (I think) read the other posts / questions regarding this issue. Like others, I'm experience a completely black screen when opening the new version of Firefox. I can't do (or click on) anything...and it won't open in safe mode.

I'm not very tech-savvy...but I did manage to get to the point where I had Intel do an auto-check to see about updating the graphics card (which was the other recommended fix).

I have a four-year-old Lenovo ThinkPad, BTW. I got the following message: __

Current Driver Installed

8.15.10.2321

A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. __

Is there anything else I can do before I contact Lenovo (never fun). I guess not using Firefox is the obvious answer here...but it is my favorite browser. Urgh. Thanks in advance for any advice.
