Often after I've selected a Bookmark there are remnants of the list of Bookmarks still on my screen outside of the Firefox window. How do I get Firefox to not leave remnants of the Bookmark list?

Often after I've selected a bookmark from my list of Bookmarks in Firefox the screen doesn't refresh properly and parts of the list of Bookmarks remains on the screen. The remnant is always above and/or below the window that contains Firefox. If I move the window around the desktop gets properly repainted. However there is still a remnant of the bookmark list in my task bar. Is there a fix for this anywhere?

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

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
