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:

Thank you.

Hi progboy, when you see this blank area, could you try the following key combination, it is zoom-in and then zoom-out, the idea is to force Firefox to "repaint" the page:

Ctrl +
Ctrl -

If that doesn't help, if you select the area with your mouse, is the content there but rendering white-on-white?


As you probably noticed, YouTube was overhauled recently and while I'd like to think Google carefully tests in Firefox, it's possible that something was overlooked here. Hopefully we can figure it out.

(As a light YouTube user myself who rarely if ever uses the site logged in, I might not be able to re-create the problem, but I'll check it out later.)
