On a HP EliteBook 840 G3 with HD Graphics 520 embedded in i5-6300U, Intel driver 20.19.15.4377 (1-25-2016) causes graphics glitches (black rectangles when scrolling and failure to repaint the content area immediately when switching tabs; black rectangles also spread to browser chrome occasionally) and crashes (the driver crashes often and sometimes takes Firefox with it.)

This is with Windows 7 Enterprise and Firefox ESR 45.8.0. (This is another person's enterprise-managed laptop, so I'm not at liberty to test with different Firefox or driver versions. I expect the enterprise admin to upgrade the driver before pushing ESR 52.)

Since there exist a newer driver for HD Graphics 520 (from two weeks ago), I wonder if it made sense to just blocklist driver 4380 and older for HD Graphics 520. Do we have the capability of blocklisting on a per GPU model basis without having to blocklist Intel drivers of the same vintage for e.g. HD Graphics 4000, which doesn't exhibit these problems?
