Hello

When I play videos (html5) in firefox, the windows opened in the background shine through. It's only visible while playing the video, it disappears when I pause. Its also only a firefox issue, no problem with chrome.

See also the picture, where you can see a white rectangle in the video screen (discreet but still annoying).

Switching off hardware acceleration doesn't help, nor does it work properly in safe mode, so no plugin issue. I already reinstalled firefox.

I'm using ubuntu 18.04. Everything should be up to date and no problems elsewhere.

I really would appreciate not to have to switch to chrome, because I really like firefox.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

I was finally able to solve the problem.

Changing gfx.xrender.enabled to true in about:config solved it.

Better than the link where the picture comes from:

look after 1:47

It only works with certain colors and not when paused. Also there has to be a small open window with bright colors behind firefox (like the settings menu).

Thanks
