1702874 - Going to new web pages with different styling sometimes causes the UI to bug out

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Proton]

Attachment: Picture of the bug I'm getting

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to a new web page (I went from Bugzilla to Wikipedia, and it triggered the bug)
2. The entire UI will bug out, the icons will disappear, and the text will also disappear, with most icons disappearing. When you hover over the elements that are empty, they will reappear.

My environment is Wayland, with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1. Also, SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland, and I'm using sway.

Actual results:

The entire UI bugs out, and has no icons or text. When you hover over it, the icons reappear.

Expected results:

Nothing should have happened. The UI should have stayed normal.

The addons I'm using are: CanvasBlocker, DarkReader, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, RES, and uBlock Origin. While running the browser without add-ons seems to alleviate the issue, no add-ons that I've used trigger the bug individually, as I disabled them all manually, and it still triggers the same issue of UI elements becoming black boxes and bugging out.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
