Wow...

Some tips/tests:

1/ Try launching Firefox with an empty/new profile (no cookies, no 
history, no cache, no configuration settings...)
2/ Try launching Firefox with no plugins enabled
3/ Try with another browser (to discard any problem with vga or drivers)
4/ Try openning a local image with Firefox

cause of this.

I dunno any option for this that can be tweaked here :-?, but there are 
many values, take a look:
