Hello
I have Firefox 154.0 on my 2 PCs that have Windows 11 and both computers are updated fully as of 22nd August 2026 with both Windows updates and Nvidia drivers.
Background:
On my 2 PCs I have an "old" stationary PC with Geforce 1070 TI card, and I have a laptop Asus Vivobook 15 PRO with a Geforce GTX 4600 card. Both computers working fine and no issues so far.
Symptoms:
I updated Firefox. Note! I always update Firefox on my computers, so it wasn't a clean install of the browser. And suddenly on both computers there were black artifacts all over screen and flickering when scrolling on Facebook or Youtube. Also even worse on sites were you drag a div and the browser turns into a 1-bit disco.
Workaround that seems to be working for me:
I went to about:settings and searched for hardware on my laptop (the one with 4600 card) and searched for "hardware". Then I disabled the hardware acceleration thing, or whatever it was, but unchecking the result after search. Then I restarted my laptop not using hardware acceleration and it worked fine.
Then again I search about:settings for hardware and checked the bottom of the 2, not sure what the first one was. And restarted computer.
Now I don't have those black artifacts and flickering any more.
Not sure if that somehow triggered something that works for fresh installs or not.
Anyway... I can't submit a ticket since I can't reproduce the error it's no point submitting to Bugzilla. But hopefully this makes sense anyways... But I'm pretty sure you guys are aware of this issue already. But posting anyways in case it might help.
