After scrolling on a page the text becomes unreadable. When highlighted it is readable but only until I scroll again. This happens only in Firefox. Any help?
Almost any page I open in Firefox is readable when opened but when I scroll up or down the text starts to break up and become unreadable. I can read the text if I highlight it but if I scroll up or down it breaks up again. I even had to highlight the directions on the previous page that instructed me on a sufficient password. This only occurs while in Firefox. IE doesn't have a problem with the same page as Firefox. I changed monitors and still have the same problem. Since it doesn't happen in IE I don't think I have a bad video card. I tried the "Reset Firefox" thing but it didn't help.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Thank you very much. This seems to have solved the problem.
You're welcome.
Disabling "Use hardware acceleration when available" worked for me, too! Thanks for the tip!
You can also try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.
You can also try to uninstall Windows update KB2670838 if you have this update.
