I don't quite understand what is going on with the random spots all over the pages I have opened with Mozilla Firefox. I know for a fact that Firefox is the issue due to the testing of both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge without any of the black pixilations all over my laptop screen. Sometimes spots are like the ones in the picture attached, other times they are one large line, and sometimes there are large spots all over thescreen
