after upgrading to 36, I keep getting weird colored areas on the toolbars. Is this a known glitch? Can it be solved?

As shown in the picture, at random times, Firefox will start showing these weird, messed up pixels on the tool bars. This time it appeared in the spot shown, but it is usually on the location bar. How can I prevent this? I am thinking of downgrading back to version 31...

hello olvc89, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Hi Philipp, yeah, that seems to have helped! I turned off the hardware acceleration and haven't seen those weird pixels in a few minutes. I'll report back if I see them again. Thank you so much!
