when ever I use the mouse to click on the home or back button on my browser, it would get distorted the arrow or home picture 'break' up and have these lines and white blanks until i roll the mouse arrow over it again sometimes. it just started doing this out of no where and i dont know why.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Try to update the graphic display driver.

I unchecked the "use h.a. when available" box (for me it's at Options->Options->Advanced, General, Browsing)... Back-button weirdness is gone, but now all the type in the menubar, tabs, etc. looks uglier :-(

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

so far it's looking like the azure.enabled toggle did the trick. Thanks! :)
