I updated to 50.0 on my up to date windows 7 pro based computer. I immediately started seeing areas of badly rendered graphics in web pages. Kind of a 1x3 inch rectangle of old but scrambled frame buffer data (or sometimes all black or all white). It moved and changed as the page was scrolled.

I reloaded 49.0 and the problem went away.

Hi, try turning off hardware acceleration as shown here: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Going back to 50.0. the problem returned. Then, turning off hardware acceleration as suggested, made it go away.

Is this seen as a bug? Have others had issues? I don't want to have to turn off hardware acceleration permanently.

Hi, not really seen as a bug - it's a fairly common occurrence. Updating your graphics drivers might fix it - see linked article above.
