Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

Then perform these steps:

• Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
• In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
• In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
• Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

• Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

• Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Firefox uses the about: protocol to access built-in about: pages that you can open via the location bar just like you open web pages.

• Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Did you check your mouse driver?

All of that answer dont work :/ idk why

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Hi i also have this problem loading a web site, playing videos etc unless i keep moving the mouse it constantly stops, doesn't do it in Internet explorer or Google chrome, work fine on my PC with XP, only happens in Firefox on my Laptop with windows 7 home premium, worked ok previously on this, tried disabling the accelerator box did nothing Regards David

Did you try Windows Safe mode?

Does this also happen if you use a different mouse or try a standard mouse driver in Windows in case you are now using one from the manufacturer of your mouse?
