Since I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 every time I open Mozilla, screen starts flickering and I get a error message saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered - Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered".

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla but get the same problem.
