Attached image Firefox bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

Kubunut 20.04
Set gfx.webrender.all to true in about:config. After restarting computer there was dark area covering visibility of top half of GUI. After changing it back to false in the prefs.js file and restarting my computer the issue seems to have resolved. Not 100% sure if it's connected to webrender, will update if the bug returns.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Could you please post your about:support information for us, while WebRender is enabled via pref?

Thanks for the report! This has been fixed in Firefox 85 (currently Nightly).
You are using hardware rendering (gfx.webrender.all) on the proprietary Nvidia driver.
Workarounds:
Open KDE System Settings > Display & Monitor > Compositor, enable "Enable compositor on startup", logout and login back to KDE.
Other options are disabling WebRender or starting Firefox with MOZ_X11_EGL=1 environment variable.
