I'm having a problem in Firefox where many times, there are a number of graphical artifacts. The attached screenshots should help make better sense of my issue.

I disabled Hardware Acceleration (I thought that's what was causing it) but it turns out it's clearly something else. I would very much appreciate help with this issue, as more often than not, Firefox is always crashing while or after said graphical artifacts occur.

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

Did you look at the graphics section on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page?

You can try to disable WebRender.

  • gfx.webrender.dcomp-win.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
