Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Check "Problematic extensions" -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

"Safe Search" installed by AVG Free is listed there with such a problem, follow directions to remove the Link Scanner Component
