You can revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Use themes to change the look of Firefox and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Themes (Lightweight theme)
Extensions like InvisibleHand and Ghostery can also cause problems.
If it always happens on specific sites then you can do a test in Safe mode.
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
See http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0
