I keep running into issues with these desktop internet browsers lately and its starting to annoy me quite a bit! I'm currently using an HP EliteBook 725 G2 J5N82UT docked to an HP 2013 Ultraslim dock and 3 22" 1080p external displays along with the 1080p internal display. Any other information necessary needed please ask me.
-IE11 has the "green screen bug" after some use when playing videos on YouTube and Facebook, audio is heard, screen becomes green and video cannot be seen
-Chrome was recently updated (37 64 bit) and now the text is super tiny which makes it pretty useless since I use 3 22" 1080p external monitors even at 2-3ft viewing distance and adjusting the sharpness/display settings
-Firefox 32 renders NBR main forum page oddly (see pic below)
IE11 green screen video bug

Chrome 37 tiny text/blurry text (this image doesn't really show what I see on my displays so you'll have to take my word on it)

Firefox 32 renders NBR main forum page terribly

My personal favorite has always been Chrome. It has always been fast, simple and intuitive for me. I didn't want to stop using it and hope Google fixes the tiny text issues I'm experiencing.
IE11 is quite nice especially with a touchscreen. If it simply didn't have that annoying green screen video bug it would be fine.
I never was a Firefox fan but version 32 seems like a great competitor to Chrome and has a great layout. I love it, except for the odd NBR forum rendering.
Each one of these browsers has given me issues lately and its gotten really annoying as I've been surfing the internet using Chrome for years without any issues whatsoever and now all the sudden I'm not finding a stable solution. Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Any help?

For the green screen, have your tried removing flash and updating to the current version? I see 15... recently came out. Also you could try a different setting for hardware acceleration. I am on IE11 only under Win 7 and use youtube a lot but have not run into this yet; I have HW acceleration disabled.
Switching to VB4 Default style may help with FF -

Here we go again with the word "fast" it getting old *pun* fast. That FF32 screen your seeing is not happening on my FF32 you might want to delete the cookies and history and cache and try to reload it again. IE11 has it good and bad points and as I tell others no website is programmed to all browser they are more or less programmed with IE in mind since it is the main Windows browser.

I don't have that loading issue on NBR on neither Firefox nor Pale Moon, I would uninstall Firefox and delete my current profile and start fresh.

That's funny, on my 15.6'' 1080p screen although text in chrome was always small at 100% I have changed the zoom to 125% a long time ago and I haven't noticed any difference recently. For me the recent update (version 37) hasn't changed anything. I remember there was a bigger patch a while ago that did make the UI elements smaller but that didn't affect the text size on websites or google search.
Desktop Internet browsers are giving me issues and I don't know who else to trust.
