Does anybody know what this is and a way to stop it? It goes away if I scroll but it's kind of annoying and I don't know how it happens.

 

Thanks, Sam

Your RAM/GPU may not have a stable overclock. Does this happen elsewhere?

RAM and GPU aren't overclocked and it's only in Firefox.

Browser problems? It works fine for me on Chrome.

 

If you try using inspect Element, you could try and fix it.

It's just visual, I've been through it already and it's nothing there and it doesn't happen on Chrome either.

Are you using a new or beta version of Firefox, just go down to an older version or something

I've only started using Firefox recently, I'm on 23.0.1 if that means anything.

Not a great new experience then, I'm not sure what the current Firefox is, I'm assuming you have quite a lot of add ons, this could also be a cause of your problem

is there repair/reset button in firefox?

No. Because it's just as easy to reinstall.... @Samdb just uninstall and reinstall a slightly older version of Firefox

Catalyst 13.4, these drivers are terrible and crash every single day. Do you think it's the cause?

Minimalist, are you using an AMD GPU mayhaps?  There is a bug related to HW acceleration in Firefox with newer series cards.  I had the same issue with a 7870.  Turn hardware acceleration off then report back.  :)

My PC specifications are in my profile.

I sometimes have problems with browsers when extensions are added; some extensions are incompatible and they conflict

 

Try uninstalling some extensions one by one and see if that helps. If none of that works, I seriously don't know what is going on.

 

You could always try Internet Explorer lol.

Right, I'll just have to see if it works now.
