Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Finally found the offending addon : Visited ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/visited/?src=api ) It even has a "Show opacity effect on images" setting. Thank you for the help :)
