[SOLVED]Graphics artifacts in Firefox
After installing Firefox on a fresh Linux, the top of the tabs has some graphical artifacts, and also some websites that has transparent elements, those appears as vertical stripes.
This problem also occurs with a new profile and even in Thunderbird (the problem with the tabs), but not with other OS or other browsers

It looks like it's not Firefoxes problem, instead, it is caused by a buggy graphics driver

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
- Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
I did, nothing happened, graphics drivers are up to date.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

This problem also occurs with a new profile, as I mentioned in the first post
