strange text glitches

Post by adrienkennebec »

Text has been randomly glitching in firefox. I dont think it's related to Firefox itself because even upgrading from firefox 33 to 34 the text glitches still happen. I noticed they will disapear when i select the glitch part of the text and unselect it.
I'm running Mint 13 with the xfce window manager.

The glitches look like the text in this screenshot

Where the text with a block on it is glitching out.

The OS itself is fully up to date according to the update manager.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Try opening Firefox preferences, going to the Advanced tab. and the General tab there, and disabling hardware acceleration. Especially combined with smooth scrolling on my computer that causes graphics glitches in Firefox for some reason. I've disabled both.
