Can you provide the graphics section of about:support ? Does this happen if you restart with add-ons disabled? (from the help menu; also disables hardware acceleration)

Here, since my default language is italian, I translated the sentences, so maybe can be a little different from yours :)

Description of graphic card	NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X/AGP/SSE/3DNOW!
Windows with acceleration GPU	0/1 Basic Blocked because the graphics card drivers has unresolved problems.

Driver version	1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.23

Even by disabling the add-ons the problem still...
On some sites, elements can be only visible on mouse over...

Thanks for the translation! My Italian is non-existent... :-)

That's an old card... I don't know that there's much we can do here. On the other hand, it seems HWA is turned off anyway, so I'm not really sure why there are still issues (although that could still be your video card/drivers...)

Did this used to work on earlier versions of Firefox? Have you tried an official mozilla release instead of iceweasel?

Yes, I tried the official Mozilla release of Firefox and I was experiencing the same problems...
As I can remember, this drivers was working correctly on my previous Debian (lenny), but I can't remember when it starts fail... Maybe around the release 26 of Firefox, but I'm not sure.
