It is usually better not to switch the graphics display card while Firefox is running.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if that helps.

Thanks, i'll try to turn that off But I'm switching cards usually on mobile connection. Restarting FF means reloading all tabs ususally which is not good. And I have to swich cards because it means one hour of battery life. Other apps or browsers don't have problem with this so it's definitely bug. Where can I post it?
