Screen tearing while scrolling. Started with FF v85

I noticed ever since I updated to FF ver 85 I started seeing screen tearing when scrolling. This is most noticeable when scrolling through a list of videos or pictures. This only happens on Fire Fox. I do not experience this problem on Chrome. I have already disabled Hardware Acceleration. Made no difference. I'm currently on FF version 86.

Anything else I can try to resolve this issue?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Restarting FF in safe mode did not fix the problem. I did notice that restarting FF changes where the screen will tear. Sometimes it's in the middle, other times it's at the bottom of the screen.

So just to update, the problem has been fixed with the 87.0 update.
