Im not sure when exactly it started (As the problem drove me to stop using the browser until i had the time to actually troubleshoot it), but firefox is displaying a black box over pretty much anything that moves on the screen, anything i can click, and even the entire screen when a scroll up and down the page. This is happening on every website, and is driving me insane.

Iv tried reinstalling firefox (version 11), disabling all my add-ons, and creating a new profile. I even waited till the next update to see if it would change anything. It didnt.

Now, this is where things get interesting (Well, it made ME intrigued at least :L). If i run the browser in 'Safe mode' it clears up the problem completely, but from my understanding, running in safe mode is just running with all add-ons disabled, settings at default, themes disabled, and without any profile data whatsoever, so how am i still getting this problem with a brand new profile?

Any help or info is appreciated, i miss using firefox.


OH, Also, here are my computer specs:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M CPU: Genuine Intel U7300

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

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

Ha... Haha... I never thought to disable Hardware Acceleration, but that WAS the problem.

Thanks for the help ^,6
