Some UI problems after version 82+ of Firefox

I am not sure but I think that after I installed version 82 of Firefox I've started experiencing some UI problems. On many sites (in some circumstances) on their loaded pages I see 'black rectangles' which mysteriously disappear after some time as like as they previously have shown...

It is very strange and annoying. Before version 82 I have no memory to see that before. I don't know what Firefox developers do, but if their job is to decrease user level of satisfaction of using Firefox browser, than they give their best.

These randomly appeared black rectangles on different pages make me nervous. They are like some missing part of a page. Like Firefox, on its desire to show site content as soon as possible, doesn't wait to receive all data packages and on later period (when delayed packages arrive) then fill the black rectangles with data and the pages are represented as they should be. My International Internet Connection is around 20 Mbps and my Homeland Internet Connection is around 50 Mbps, so I don't think that Internet Connection is the reason for these black rectangles. I've set Google as my home page and these black rectangles show even on Firefox starting process when Firefox loads Google site. I don't keep sites' cache data. And I am very curious why on earlier versions of Firefox I didn't notice these black rectangles.

In addition to my above post I attach a screen-shot of these black rectangles...

Edit: And the strangest thing in this whole situation is when these black rectangles show - they stay on the page, but when I switch windows (for example I minimize Firefox) and then I return to it - these rectangles are mysteriously gone - without refreshing the page, without clearing the cache, without anything other than switching between different windows...


Edit2: I've just noticed that I experience this problem even when I am using Add-ons Manager, so I already think that it isn't some problem of loading pages but internal Firefox problem which affects wrong rendering of visual content.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
