Annoying bug in Mozilla Beta Android
Hello, I am avid user of Firefox and I completely transferred from Chrome to Firefox as Firefox is much much better . But I have been having some ugly bugs which really annoys , for sometime I thought it was related to the website but it has been too much . I didn't want to post this bug in Bugzilla if it has been already posted. Hence why I posted here. -Description Whenever I visit some websites , there's some black solid writing appears on the page randomly . Whenever I scroll down or up it disappears just to appear another place again , it also duplicate some texts in other pages . This bug occurs in all the websites but randomly . Sometimes a webpage doesn't have , but in another tab it has that same ugly solid black color on the pages . -Device Am using Android 10 , S10+ on Custom ROM . -Browser Firefox Beta 79.0.0-beta8 latest from Playstore . I have attached 5 screenshots below to give clear view of what am saying . And also they're appearing on this same page . Any help will be appreciated . Thanks

This is a video driver issue. Custom ROMs are hard to support in this manner. You can try setting "gfx.webrender.force-disabled" to true in about:config, wait a minute and restart the phone. This should force Firefox to not use the video driver for rendering web pages.
You may be able to request that the ROM include a more recent version of the driver if one exists.
If you know of someone with a stock Samsung S10+ who sees these issues we would be interested in a bug report.

Hi
What is the device that you are using and what version of Android was installed on it originally?
I am using S10+ , it originally came with Android 9 . Updated to Android 10 by Samsung then changed to AOSP Rom .By the way stable Firefox doesn't have this problem a nd same with other browsers .
