Why does my screen keep glitching out when I use Firefox?

I seem to randomly get glitches on my Firefox screen, where the text or image is covered by black squares. I have a new laptop and I was worried for a long time that my computer was faulty, but it seems that all of my screen problems occur when Firefox is open. Have you seen this problem before? Is it common and is there a simple solution (like downloading a driver) or do I need to replace my computer?

(I have images, but I'm not sure they are uploading correctly.)

Hi, have a look at; Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL and first try turning off Hardware acceleration.
