Firefox glitching

When I use Firefox, I often have a problem where parts of the page don't load correctly, or stop loading correctly in the middle of me using them. I've turned off all of my extensions that would cause this, so I cannot figure out what the problem is. When I am typing, the line of text I'm on will randomly disappear and then reappear again as I type more. When I use websites with overlays (I click on something and the rest of the page darkens so only a single box is fully visible, for example), sometimes the overlays will become partially transparent for no reason, and then fix themselves. Stuff also just disappears. I have online hardware labs I do for school, and sometimes, the pictures just vanish, and I have to either drag them around the screen to make them reappear, or just wait several moments for them to come back. I've attached some cropped versions of the labs I do, to give you some idea of what glitches I have going on. The first is how the page appears to me, and the second is how the page is supposed to appear.

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
