since updating to firefox 40, there are artifacts overlying the text you put into the location bar (see screencast) on one of my devices with a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset integrated graphics card with the latest available drivers.
though there were a number of other unresolved cosmetic issues like artefacts around the back button (bug 836701) and search bar, this new bug has a quite serious functional impact.

the regression range is https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=63671ebfa2dd&tochange=3ad4a417e095 and therefore bug 1153609.
the problem doesn't happen in safemode or with hwa disabled...

"(#0) Error: OpenSharedResource failed for format 65" <-- this is pretty interesting, I wonder where that is coming from.
Can any of our Toronto machines reproduce this issue?
Flags: needinfo?(jmuizelaar)
We have a G45 which should be similar enough to reproduce. I'll check on Monday.
I can reproduce this issue, or something that looks similar enough in Toronto.
Flags: needinfo?(jmuizelaar)
I also remember seeing something like this on G41 some time ago. I believe we block D2D on that hardware so it might be worth doing the same on the G45 class.

Nevermind, these were artifacts in 39. I see worse artifacts in 40.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Nasty problem, and seemingly worse than in 39.
Assignee: nobody → jmuizelaar
Disabling Direct2D 1.1, perhaps unsurprising, fixes the problem.
Considering blocklisting this configuration.

This bug has an r+ patch. Are you waiting on something else before landing? Note that 40 is marked as affected and we're looking at beta7 at the earliest to take this fix.

My calendar shows Bas to be on PTO July 15-21. That *may* be why this hasn't landed yet.
Jeff wrote this patch, I just r+'ed it, and yes, I am indeed on PTO :-).

Split out GMAX4500 and block those devices from D2D
