Images not loaded correctly
Dear reader,
Since a week my Firefox experiences strange loading behavior of images. The problem is seen on various pages, in particular when there are more images/pictures shown (e.g. news sites, youtube). The problem does not happen with other browsers.
The problem is this: All images are shown (they are not broken), but the images are mixed up. For example, images A,B,C,D should have been loaded. Instead images C,B,D,D,D are shown. When I hover over the images, the correct images are loaded. See attached picture: The top row is just after loading. The bottom row is shown after I have hover all images.
As you can image, this is extremely annoying. I have to read the text and/or hover all images to make a choice or understand what an item is all about.
I have tried the following with no success: - Cleared cache - Cleared all (cookies, history, cache, etc.) - Refreshed my profile - Created new profile - Reinstalled firefox - Disabled all add-ons
The only thing that I haven't done, but which could solve the problem is updating my video card drivers. I have an old card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275). The reason that I don't upgrade is that new NVIDIA drives cause (hard reset) crashes all the time. Also, any other browser works normally.
Thanks for any tips/advice you might give me.
Regards, Eyestolks.

Did you try to disable hardware acceleration?
You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
- about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
Make sure that all network.http.* prefs have the default value and also check the connection settings.

See "Firefox connection settings":
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
