At least it works for you, for me Firefox just starts eating gigabytes of RAM when starting up and then finally it stops and maybe becomes usable, but even then, without proper HW acceleration Youtube, WebGL games and kerning are awful.

If anyone has suggestions how I could get all those things fixed it would be really welcome. I'm using an Intel Core 2 6700 with Intel 965Q graphics with 8GB of RAM.

I can’t see your graphics card in the blocklist[1] so I’m not sure why hardware acceleration would be disabled. If you look in about:support is it definitely not working? If you go to about:config and search for ’acceleration’ is anything disabled there?

If none of that works, you could try going back to about:support and click on Refresh Firefox. You’ll lose settings and extensions but it can clear up problematic issues. [2]
