It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Looks like it's only on text? Does Firefox have an option to enable/disable hardware accelerated text rendering (DirectWrite)? If so, changing that could work around the issue.

I highly doubt its a Firefox issue, it's more likely that Firefox is just exposing an underlying issue.

It looks like a DIB handling bug. Likely an issue with how the driver (or device) does textures.

It will likely manifest in other browers besides firefox, because of the need to do gpu rendering for dynamic content.

So the keyboard on my windows ten laptop has chosen to lock completely, and an attempted restart seems to either be taking far too long, or be frozen.

What do?

I'm not sure how I'd go about that. The power button doesn't do anything, and I'm stuck in the restarting screen.

My current only idea is to remove the battery.

It doesn't?  Hold it down at least half a minute or so.

How inadvisable does it seem to remove the battery while the thing is partially restarted?

Rather.  Consult a technician.

removing the battery is the same as a hard reboot, pretty much. If there's nothing else to do, you may as well try it.
