Im not really sure cos i work with opera, but I think it didnt happend to me in portable version (bintray.com), So what i saw that day was occuring only with java-jdk in firefox. I also eventually sisabled Webgl (webgl.disable=True), even so, it was wrong with jdk-java.
NPAPI support was dropped in the recent versions of Firefox thus the Java-plugin (or Flash for that matter) won't work. Try giving the latest version a try (you can download from their official site and put it in /opt to try it without installing), I'm sure it will fix your problem (albeit by purging the cause, which may not benefit you in the end).
Enabling multiprocess speeds up Firefox significantly so find out what addons aren't compatible (using this addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -reporter/), disable them and turn it on by toggling
browser.tabs.remote.autostart (in about:config) and it should be enabled on the next restart (check about:support and see if the "Multiprocess Windows" entry has a value >1).
On a side note, what do you need Java for? I'm sure people have obscure uses of Flash even now but I personally find no good reason in keeping the Java plugin in Firefox (even though I'm a Java developer).
I hope this helps. Tearing is very annoying and ruins the user experience; imho we should've done away with it a long ago considering that Linux desktop has come this far.
The source code for the kernel, library, etc. should fit on one diskette. Sources for the GNU utilities will vary (and will be big). The sources to GNU emacs will take at least 3 disks. -- Theodore Ts'o, 1992 (distributing the first Linux disks)
