Scrolling and viewing pdf in firefox is overwriting the scrolled text over the present text

more options

The pdf gets overwritten by the new text when it is scrolled down or up and the whole pdf becomes messy. I have attached an image showing the same. The terminal gets into the background of the pdf and any other application that is opened on the screen.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem:

Disable Hardware Acceleration:

  • Open Firefox and go to the menu (three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner).
  • Select "Settings".
  • Scroll down to the "Performance" section.
  • Uncheck "Use recommended performance settings" and then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available".
  • Restart Firefox and see if the issue persists.

Clear Cache and Cookies:

  • Go to the menu and select "Settings".
  • Navigate to "Privacy & Security".
  • Under "Cookies and Site Data", click "Clear Data".
  • Check "Cookies and Site Data" and "Cached Web Content" and click "Clear".

Try Safe Mode:

  • Start Firefox in Safe Mode by clicking the menu button, selecting "Help", and then "Restart with Add-ons Disabled".
  • If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode, an extension might be causing the issue. You can then disable extensions one by one to identify the culprit.
