Firefox window is transparent when displaying video

Hello everyone,

When watching a video in Firefox, I can faintly see the window or background image behind the Firefox window.
Looking carefully at the following screenshot, you can see that my home folder in nautilus is faintly visible through what should be a completely blue video playing in Firefox.

This does not occur during normal browsing, Chromium based browsers or any other program I use.

Some information that might be relevant:
- Firefox version: 64.0
- Gnome version: 3.30.2
- Graphics: Radeon RX 580 Series (POLARIS10, DRM 3.27.0, 4.19.12-arch1-1-ARCH, LLVM 7.0.0)
- Graphics card driver: amdgpu
- vulkan-radeon/mesa version: 18.3.1-1
- Display server: Xorg 1.20.3-1
- Xorg config:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "AMD"
        Driver "amdgpu"
        Option "TearFree" "true"
        Option "DRI" "3"
        Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Edit: The problem is also there when using Wayland

I'm getting this too. Especially noticeable on black video, but only if the video is playing.

- Firefox version: 64.0
- Graphics: Radeon RX 480

EDIT: For me, the issue is fixed by Firefox 65.0
