Hello

Post your Graphic section from about:support,
next make sure that you're using latest GPU drivers,
if not, update it and redo the STR and post info from about:support again.

Can you reproduce the issue in Safe Mode[1]?
If yes and you can reproduce the issue in Safe Mode,
can you still reproduce it even with clean new fresh profile without any addons (extensions and plugins)[2]?

You can also try a standard troubleshoot and diagnose procedure[3].
