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

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Thank you very much !

Disabling Hardware acceleration solved the problem. The newest driver for my graphic card Geforce 8600 gm s didn't work so I installed some old ones. Maybe that's causing the problem.
