Not always, but it happens quite frequently. I have also checked by disabling all addons and nasty plugins. This is the problem only in Firefox 4 and 4.2 pre alpha. Not in the previous versions. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open website http://adeekshith.blogspot.com/ 2.Scroll up and down on the web page. 3.Page components will appear broken and only the background will be visible sometimes.
Does setting "layers.acceleration.disabled" to "true" via "about:config" and restarting Firefox show a Difference?

Works fine for me. Please try if it works fine in safe mode or try by creating a new profile. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles#Creating_a_profile.
Yes it worked by setting "layers.acceleration.disabled" to "true" via "about:config".

(In reply to comment #1) > Does setting "layers.acceleration.disabled" to "true" via "about:config" and > restarting Firefox show a Difference? Thank you. Although I do not know what it is, it worked well now. Is the problem fixed or some useful component which causes the problem disabled? I guess that hardware acceleration is disabled. Am I right?
Resolution: FIXED → WORKSFORME
Yes, seems to be a D3D9 (Layers Acceleration) Issue. Please post the Content of the Graphics Section you can get via "about:support" after you re-enabled Hardware Acceleration. In Advance you can check if a Drivers Update would help.
Summary: Fails to render Web page → [D3D9] Fails to render Web page
I'm on D3D9 but I can't see any problem on that page, tried reloading it multiple times. It is slow to scroll though.

Usually, when I browse the web for long time and open the website (that too only a few times), i get that problem. But, once the problem appears, the page will not render even if I reload the page or restart the browser. It is happening on both Firefox 4 and Firefox 4.2 pre-alpha(Minefield). I will try to get the screenshots of it soon.
