Hello, as of today my Firefox Windows is half transparent. Including all Task Bars and drop down menus. Rendering it quite unuseable. This behavior is unique to Firefox, other Applications are not affected. When I boot Firefox in the Debug-Mode the transparency is gone. Can someone tell me what the Issue may be and how I can disble this setting?

Operating System: UbuntuStudio 20.04.2 LTS Firefox Version: 89.0 (64-Bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 Used Theme: the standard dark theme from Firefox in Version 1.2

Looks like there's something wrong with Webrender. It doesn't like your GPU. Check the Graphics section in about:support, then try to disable WebRender in about:config. I don't remember this preference right now, but you should find it.

"gfx.webrender.all" was already set to false. The issue is still persistent.
