Webpage Rendering Problems with Android Firefox v134
I have just updated to Firefox v134 stable release on Android and now when I log into github.com, the webpage is glitching and not being rendered properly. The avatars on github look torn and they are blinking when I scroll up and down. This is occurring with current Firefox stable, beta, and nightly releases on Android.
My device is a Samsung T813 tablet running Android Nougat (Android 7.1).
I should also mention that Firefox v134 on Android is also showing UI glitches when viewing the settings in certain extensions, like FoxyProxy. Although, I have also done a clean install of Firefox v134 with no extensions installed and the webpages like github and still showing the rendering problems mentioned above.

The problem with Firefox v134 is that the backgrounds of the images look "blotchy" instead of solid. Like on kernel.org, for example, the background image for "Latest Release" looks like its got streaks with two different shades of yellow. This rendering problem does not occur when using Firefox v133.
Firefox Focus on Android just updated to v134 today and now it also has the same rendering problems. See example attached. https://ibb.co/5MDxBvN
Hi
Are you using any other apps on your Android device that may be accessing the web or providing some kind of security protection?
I use GH in Firefox for Android often and I am not seeing these issues.
I am not using any apps that are providing any kind of security protection. If i go back to version 133.0.3, then everything works fine. I have a feeling this might be device specific.
This is my video card:

It seems that " W OpenGLRenderer: Points are too far apart" is related to the scaling of SVG files.
I just checked torbrowser and it has the same "Points are too far apart" warning, but torbrowser does not have any rendering problems, so that warning is not the problem. I don't see anything else interesting in logcat.
Perhaps this is the problem:
01-12 00:41:20.950 11034 11102 D skia : --- SkAndroidCodec::NewFromStream returned null 01-12 00:41:20.950 11034 11126 D skia : --- SkAndroidCodec::NewFromStream returned null
I think the version of skia updated in Firefox v134 and that is causing the problem.
The version of Firefox that works does not show any debug warnings from skia.
If you encounter a situation where SkAndroidCodec::NewFromStream returns null, it typically indicates an issue with the input stream or the data contained within it. This method is used to create a codec from a stream of image data, and returning null suggests it was unable to successfully decode the image.
And my problem is that the images look like they are not decoded all the way... this really seems like the problem.
