I gave a blacklisted graphics driver for radeon 1950x pro (ATI) that has no available update. From what I can tell, because my driver version are not supported I am suffering from 'glitchy' performances, especially in flash-based websites (eg: the game Zuma Blitz suffers highly from what appears frame-rate issues).

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately there is not much you can do.

However there is no reason to downgrade to 3.6. There is no functionality in Firefox 4 which gets disabled when your driver is blacklisted and which is enabled in Firefox 3.6. You're "only" missing out on faster graphics as well webgl, neither of which are available in Firefox 3.6.

Some websites are 'glitchy' so there must be some impact vs the two versions. For example, a simple flash game like Zuma Blitz suffers from what appears to be frame-rate issues. While 3.6.x does not.

Youtube even is glitchy now. Google's maps. Ect.

And before it's suggested, I have updated flash to double check that wasn't the issue.
