   Awesome fix! Firefox was garbled and ridiculously slow. Much improved. Thanks!

   Thanks! Do you know why hardware acceleration causes problems though?

   Well, not the very detailed precise technical reasons, but at a higher level I’d guess it’s because nVidia didn’t test every hardware configuration with Windows 8 and there’s an obscure bug in there somewhere.

    Doesn’t solve the problem for me.
    Tried even updating GPU driver.

    The only thing that fixed it (but the problem came back next day..) is the help in Firefox menu->Troubleshooting Information then reset firefox at the web page that opens.
    But as I said, it only helped for a day (tried several times)

    Any other suggestions?

    I have a nvidia g210m fixed my firefox issues instantly, I thought it was a windows 8 issue and waited for mozilla to update their software

    I had also Problems with just installed new AMD Radeon HD 7870 under Win8 with the current FF 20.0.1
    I got many wrong pixel inside of the Favorite Bar.
    The solution fixed the problem.

    This looks like FF having a problem and not nVidea /AMD.
