Forum Response - Disable hardware acceleration

Firefox Firefox Last updated: 50% of users voted this helpful

Hello,

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.

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.) and then perform these steps:

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. Select the General panel.
  3. Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
    Fx55Performance-disableHWA
  4. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  5. Close Firefox completely and then restart it to see if the problem persists.
