User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141103030205

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Firebug
2. Open the attached demo
3. Inspect the page with Firebug
4. Move the mouse over Firebug's window, right-click it to open context menu, etc.


Actual results:

Some black boxes appear if OMTC is enabled.


Expected results:

They shouldn't appear.

Note it's not a problem of Firebug. With Firebug it's always easy to reproduce, but in some occasions I have had the same problem with Firefox's devtools, or just page's scrollbars.

Also note the boxes may not be black depending of the theme.

Not sure if this is the same as bug 1019909.

Could you open about:support and paste the "graphics" section, please.
Did you test with OMTC disabled? (about:config>layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled=false)

Yes, disabling OMTC it works fine. The bug only happens when it is enabled.

I can also reproduce it on another PC (Win Vista):

In your case, your drivers are not supported anymore.

For the NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, the latest are 307.83 (2013.2.26):
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/57493/en-us (these ones you have already)

For the Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family, the latest are 15.12.4.1666 (03/05/2009):
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=17407&lang=eng

But I don't think updating the Intel drivers will change anything, it's too old.

Nical, do you have a better idea than disabling OMTC?

By Firefox? Or by NVIDIA/Intel?

Yes, I have just updated the Intel driver and the problem remains. Firefox now says

I have tried it on a computer (Win 7) with better graphics:

> AzureCanvasBackend          skia
> AzureContentBackend         cairo
> AzureFallbackCanvasBackend  cairo
> AzureSkiaAccelerated        0

And there is no problem.

However, if I disable HWA, I can reproduce it. Now Firefox says

> GPU Accelerated Windows     0/1 Basic (OMTC) Blocked for your graphics card because of unresolved driver issues.

Note those versions have OMTC disabled by default, so you must enable it manually to reproduce the bug.

Confirmed on Firefox 36. Why there're so many unconfirmed bugs that clearly DO happen?

I remember this bug. It was very messy, involving corruption of UI elements.
It was fixed by a random "new to Bugzilla" guy with GoogleChrome UA in bug 1151749. He's just my hero
Just in case, I bisected using the testcase. Fix range:
