Sometimes while browsing I get some weird visual issues where some letters disappear or I get random white boxes or some letters appear distorted snowy like. It started like 2 weeks ago and happens very rarely but annoying.
I have the lastest Nvidia driver version and I also tried a fresh install with Guru3d but hasnt got fixed.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: Weird visual glitches
One thing that may have changed is your graphics card being whitelisted for webrender or you being added to a webrender test group. See here for details https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/20/firef ... irefox-67/ or try going to about:config and set gfx.webrender.all to false.

Re: Weird visual glitches
Did you check for hardware acceleration issues and possibly disable hardware acceleration in Firefox ?
Options/Preferences -> General: Performance :
[ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
[ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Close and restart Firefox after modifying this setting.

It was set on true but changed it to false. Does this mean I was choose to the test group or something?kerft wrote:One thing that may have changed is your graphics card being whitelisted for webrender or you being added to a webrender test group.

Re: Weird visual glitches
Not sure. Please let us know if disabling webrender (and restarting) made the glitches go away.

Re: Weird visual glitches
I will keep this updated but like I said this doesnt happen too often. Gonna wait a few days to see if the glitch shows up again

Re: Weird visual glitches
3 days after webrender disabled and the issue didn't show up so far. Gonna keep updating this in a few days and might call it fixed.
