See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Hi FredMcD As requested I have inserted a photo to my question. I tried updating my graphics driver (INTEL) and the problem still exists. I am using Windows 10 in a new HP Laptop. I spoke to HP about the problem and they claimed it was a software problem occurring in Firefox. Any More thoughts?
