Firefox 87 on Wayland has graphical issues not found in FF86

Hey all,

I'm getting this strange issue on Firefox 87 (package v87.0-1) where mouseovers, context menus, and extension popups all are flickering. This issue does not appear on Firefox 86.0.1 (package 86.0.1-1). I have updated all of my packages (sans Firefox, which I am running on 86.0.1-1 for now).

System information: Linux hostname 5.11.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun, 21 Mar 2021 01:55:51 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Wayland DE: Sway 1:1.5.1-1 and wlroots 0.12.0-1

That should be fixed in sway master and 1.6-rc1. The stable release will come soon.

Alright. I'll keep the downgraded Firefox until the new version of Sway comes out. I'll mark this solved once the new version of Sway is released and confirmed to work.

It appears the issue has been solved with the latest Sway (1:1.5.1-2).
