Firefox did some type of update today. Ever since weird black boxes randomly show up on my screen when I use Firefox. How do I get them to go away?

Can you attach a screenshot?


You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
