hello, probably that's an issue with hardware acceleration - as there are no more updates available for your dated graphics hardware, please try to disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

hi again, mozilla's developer's are looking into the issue but are looking for more information. if disabling hardware acceleration helped in your case, would you be so kind to run another test for us:

• first please re-enable hardware-acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general again and restart the browser.
• download and install firefox 48.0.2 again from https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-48.0.2&os=win
• in firefox 48.0.2 go to the menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this will help us understand the issue...

thanks a lot! (afterwards you can update to 49 and disable hwa again for the moment)

Experimental Features

When you say there are no more updated available for my date graphics hardware, is this because I am still running Windows 7 and did not update to 10?

thanks for following up, no it's that you graphics hardware is quite old and intel stopped supporting it and is no longer providing updates that would fix bugs like this :-/
