Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

• Click the menu button , click Help and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

• On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
• On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
• On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
  (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

See if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Check with Norton for updates. It might be better to remove, then re-install the current programs.

Thanks for replying!

Symantec is a cloud service and up to date. This is a company machine so I can not uninstall it. All system and graphics drivers are updated recently.

Oh and SFC did not find any problems.

"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

Well, based on the bug discussion there is an issue with the way that memory is called there is not enough memory to call in different sized chunks to render the page.

"Failed to create D2D render target for texture" is another error

If it does not happen in safe mode Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode best bet is to disable hardware acceleration for now. :

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:

1. Open Firefox Options window (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:
   • In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
   • In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, 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.
2. In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the Advanced tab, then select General.
3. In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
4. 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
