Why do the tabs now have multiple favicon images showing after the last update?

The last update to Firefox has created a problem with the tabs. The tabs now have multiple images of the websites favicon showing. When I open a tab and go to a website, when the favicon shows it will then create multiple images of that favicon. When I click off the tab and back on it, they disappear but this obviously should not be happening and didn't start until the last update was installed. I even did a Refresh and that didn't fix the problem. I tried to upload an image but the area just has a spinning wheel and the image size was only 5.41kb. Apparently that isn't working so well either. It appears Mozilla Firefox has created some bugs for it's browser and help forum.

If anyone knows how to fix this or to get Mozilla to fix their problem, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Disabling the hardware acceleration resolved the issue. Thank you very much for your help!
