since recently, whenever I open a new tab in latest firefox version 41.0.2, there is some ugly display distortion with any new tab / webpage I am opening: parts of the old tab window and parts of the newly opened show in random rectangle-shaped display errors. None of these distortions show in any other browser or application, neither in ubuntu linux nor in windows'ses on the same pc.

Marcello,
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?
If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
