Screen flickers while going through web pages using Firefox.
I've noticed that when using firefox recently, the top of the screen flickers occasionally when i go through pages. It happens when i load a new page or as i scroll through it. I've tried disabling the hardware acceleration and it seems to work. But is there a way I can check to make sure what's wrong? Like if turning off hardware acceleration works, then how do I check to see why it works? Or what can I do so that I don't have to uncheck hardware acceleration to stop the flickering?

If disabling hardware acceleration works then Firefox doesn't work properly with your graphics display driver.
You can check if there is an update of your graphics display driver.

I have this problem too, plus the additional problem of scrolling being jumpy, but only on one specific website. I've tried everything to resolve it (running FF in safe mode, disabling all add-ons, turning off smooth scrolling, auto scrolling, and hardware accelerator, I've completed and installed all windows updates, updated all add-ons in FF, updated graphics/video card driver....) I'm at a loss.
FWIW the issue does not happen in IE (but I hate IE and that's so silly to use it for just one single website). I'm running Firefox 35 on Windows 8.1. My laptop isn't even a year old.
