Re: Rendering artifacts with Firefox 137

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, no... The scrolling might feel a bit different, but it's still easy to trigger the rendering bug.

Re: Rendering artifacts with Firefox 137

Ok, update. I have no idea how I missed this, because I swear I went through all of about:config search for any force-enabled, but somehow I missed this one: gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled. I had enabled that one, I assume a long time ago. When I disabled it, the problem went away.

Sorry for the noise I guess, I hope this can help others!

Re: Rendering artifacts with Firefox 137

I confirm that the setting from Mads in the previous post fixes the problem (had to restart Firefox after setting it to false). Does this setting disables hardware acceleration? If yes, then I think it's acceptable as a workaround but not a proper long-term solution.

Re: Rendering artifacts with Firefox 137

It doesn't disable it so much as rather it won't *force* it.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefo … #WebRender
You can try to override that and enforce it, but you've to expect bugs and then just don't enforce something that doesn't properly work tbw.

Free feel to file a complaint upstream, but not using "force-enabled" is certainly not a workaround.
