Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

So you said with hardware acceleration disabled this doesn't happen? that means this is a problem with your graphics driver or card, please update your graphics driver. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

disable that addons and give a try

i have latest for Club3D AMD Radeon HD7870XT drivers 13.2 beta 3, in safe mode the hardware acceleration is turned on and the problem doesn't occures

i disabled the feedback addon and it doesn't help

No, safe mode disables hardware acceleration, so if this is a hardware acceleration issue then you won't see it in safe mode.
