WebGL causing Rendering issues since firefox 28/29
For a long time the whole of firefox used to flicker all time, and sometimes it stays black till I resize the window. A lof Google search lead me to a solution (disabling hardware acceleration/many other things did not work) to disable WebGL in about:config and that solved my problem to a great extend. Now, the same issue is up in simulator, and as far as I searched, I am not able to disable it in Simulator. Is there any solution to fix this in Firefox (and hence in Simulator)? Sometimes the screen just freezes, though the pages are loaded in background.
I'm running Firefox 34 in Windows 8.1, on Lenovo B460e.

hi atjesse, can you try updating your graphics driver?: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22163
As you can see on the troubleshooting information page there are issues with your graphics display and the driver.
You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
- about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

I'm on Windows 8.1! And I checked, intel has discarded updates for my graphics card!

Thank you! That fixes the problem in Firefox, but Simulator still behaves weird! Any solutions?
