Hi BlueDabedai, is it possible to share a link to a public page demonstrating this problem (i.e., not requiring an account/login)?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Hi. I have this problem everywhere, even here on Mozillas own dev side: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/required

The message is in a custom element that isn't actually injected into the document and doesn't move when the document scrolls. For example:

<hbox class="popup-anchor" left="0" top="52.80000305175781" width="144.46665954589844" height="20.800003051757812" />

Same thing if you click the date in the date field to open the "picker" and then scroll the page using a touchpad (and probably a mouse wheel):

I don't know whether there is a bug on file to fix this, but you could search here:
