Since downloading firefox 5 I often have the issue of the black lines across the screen when pages are downloading or when I am scrolling. I can only get rid of them by refreshing the page or moving off the page and then back again.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
