Website glitches and images are jumbled up and distorted. Why?
Images spazzes and there's a lot of images being jumbled up as I click one tab to another. For eg. When i'm on youtube, then i click on another tab, say Facebook, the tab will change to facebook but the video player of youtube will be right smack in the centre. It remains there until I scroll up or down, which erases the video player.

When there are strange display artifacts, I suspect a graphics driver incompatibility.
As a workaround, you could disable hardware acceleration of graphics in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Note: with hardware acceleration disabled, some users with Retina displays have reported that Flash only uses a quarter of the display area. Hopefully that doesn't affect you.

Oh yeah, the glitch looked like this before.
