Thanks, can you please check if this bug reproduces with a new Firefox profile? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
Yes, the issue is present after creating and running in a new profile.
I take it you're using the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA. Does this happen if you switch to the open source drivers?
Sorry for the late reply. I had to wait until I had opportunity to mess with the graphics drivers. So it seems that the issue is not present with the nouveau drivers. However, the interesting thing is that after I tried this, then switched back again to the proprietary drivers, the issue seems to be gone also with the proprietary drivers.
