This bug happens to me somewhat often. In fact it happened to me yesterday. It fixes itself after a couple of seconds. No idea how it happens - I haven't noticed a pattern.

I have a GTX 1070.

View on HN

I too have seen the same issue, and I also have a GTX 1070. I also sometimes see the characters on a page suddenly not render too, or parts of the page go black like the squares they mention. I will keeping an eye out to see if I can get some repro steps.

Could you file a bug for us? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core&comp...

I'm in the same boat with Windows 10 + nvidia 2080ti. Not sure why you want a bug report filled when neither of us have any way of reproducing the issue nor more information about where/when it happens.

Because that's what bug reports are helpful for: organizing and collecting data, which helps with the whole "finding a repro case" and eventually fixing this issue.

Did you think bugs got fixed by mentioning "me too" in a HN comment thread? :)

Bugs are useful because it’s not possible to attach the about:support data requested to an HN comment, and because in general bug trackers have the opportunity to offer enhanced integration of support attachments to saved searches and so forth.

You can report what OS/GPU/etc you use, which might help find an important correlation.

I’ve seen this happen too a week ago, GTX 2080. Though it seemed to be some kind of corrupt state, was happening on almost every tab and then a restart fixed it.

This is interesting. I have a 1060Q and used to get the text tearing all the time. In the last (2 or 3?) FF updates I have yet to see it happen. (Currently v73.0)

same, gp107. ubuntu, usually after session resume.

the good: it used to crash my pc when the render process would just hang at 100% after resume, doesnt anymore

the bad: sometimes i have to scroll the page and tab bar after resume now

progress
