I have a strange problem. It is best described by the attached picture. These spots appear only in Mozilla, nowhere else. They come in many situations, for example when I change a tab, or maximise mozilla or try to type the website. Possibility that they come is like 30% on every click.

Note that this is likely a problem with hardware acceleration.
