Firefox 74 graphics abberation
When using FF and typically Netflix, in scenes of movement, there are artifacts around the moving sections like horizontal raindrops, very thin. Static scenes are fine.
Ive tried no acceleration/recommended and other settings, started in safe mode, correct Plugins are installed, sudo apt install libavcodec-extra, but the issue does not change. No such issue in Chrome or ElectronPlayer.
Hardware is a Lenovo E590 Thinkpad, but clearly its not a hardware issue as it only appears in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks, Al.

Hi,
this is a known issue and it's fixed in version 76.
This seems to be a slightly different issue than OP in bugzilla as its not a single line, but a screen full of raindrops. Oddly, when doing a screencapture, the artifacts do not show, only the live screen shows.
I do not have FF V76 to confirm its fixed.
You can try to enable WebRender, via either of these prefs:
- gfx.webrender.enabled = false
- gfx.webrender.force-disabled = true
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Thanks; but no difference I had tried other configs as well but no change.
