That helped, thanks. It resolved my weird green screen on YouTube. This thing should be disabled by default.

You can try to set this pref to false on the about:config page instead of disabling hardware acceleration.

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.
