I have tried: rebooting my PC, resetting my Windows theme, refreshing Firefox, and contacting you!

I can't seem to upload files either... here are some DropBox links:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I had upgraded my nVidia driver 2 days ago to 355.82 WHQL without problems (or so I thought)

I'd like to try toggling hardware acceleration, but unfortunately about:preferences#advanced is not rendering the check boxes!

Using about:config and Google, I set the following to true: gfx.direct2d.disabled webgl.disabled

...and the problem is fixed! Thank you!
