Steps to reproduce:

Enabled WebRender in about:config


Actual results:

When scrolling through webpages with webrender enabled, things flicker a lot. Especially images. Webpage logos usually appears like black boxes instead.

And I guess system specifications (especially graphics hardware and drivers) could be relevant, so here's way more information than you need about my computer: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/leHx0czolVzedksio7kQXUZ
Come to think of it, since you're doing such an amazing job creating a great browser, I'd hate to waste your time scrolling through the those specs, so here's what I figure might be of interest:
Windows 10 Pro Build 16288 (Insider Preview)
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X @ 4.05 GHz
16GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 1080 (385.69 driver)
Component: General → Graphics
Samuel, do you have the same problems if you roll back to 385.41 or with the latest 387.92 driver version?  We've had problems reported on 385.69, just wanted to see if these are the same.

I guess this is the same cause with bug 1407998 which was solved by bug 1407748. Samuel, could you try the latest night build?

(Sounds like bug 1408388 to me.)

Updates to the latest build (2017-10-18), and the thumbnails on YouTube still flicker when I'm scrolling. Currently using the 387.92 driver.

387.92 have the same issues. I can check 385.41 later.

Pretty much.

Samuel, bug 1408388 was fixed by bug 1410304 and I assume this bug was the same cause of bug 1408388. Please reopen it if it's still an issue for you.
