Screen Tearing suddenly a problem.
For some reason, today Firefox started constantly screen tearing and I don't know what to do. I first noticed it during scrolling and I disabled smooth scrolling and enabled Vsync in the Nvidia control panel and that fixed the scrolling tears by about 99%, some minor instances but that might just be the rougher scrolling. However, videos still tear like there's no tomorrow, both on YouTube and Twitch. I checked other applications such as Steam and a few games and haven't noticed anything different there, only in Firefox. I have no idea what to do, does anyone have any advice? Thank you very much in advance.

Actually, never mind. I tried Chrome and I now have no issues, plus chrome actually keeps it's format constant and doesn't apparently cause massive spikes in GPU. Or at least lets me watch my videos without tearing. Goodbye Firefox, it's been... Something...
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to make the change effective.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
