Please use https://nightly.mozilla.org to reproduce this bug on Gnome X11.

Firefox (Gecko engine) needs to set Nvidia env var __GL_ALLOW_FXAA_USAGE=0 because some people enabled FXAA and suddenly had broken rendering when Firefox (Gecko engine) switched from GLX to EGL.
But setting that env var causes a performance regression in the driver.
Workaround: Enabling "Force composition pipeline" basically reverts the performance regression.
Without the workaround, fps is almost as bad as with GLX (bug 1716049 comment 72).
