There are 3 example websites that I can remember from the top of my head that demonstrate this bug. wowhead.com mapper is just a blank rectangle. GOG support is not usable. Rival Regions is just a blank dashboard. The tabs are there, but other than that, nothing is there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to any example URL and try using it. Actual Results: I got dearly disappointed that I could not find an NPC in WoW that's needed for me to progress my quest, I could not file tickets to GOG when I needed to, and I couldn't play Rival Regions on my desktop. Expected Results: wowhead.com mapper should show a map of local area. The example URL specifically should pinpoint the location of a specific NPC in World of Warcraft. GOG support should be usable. I should be able to file a ticket instead of being able to do absolutely nothing. Rival Regions should show the content of each tab. Maintainers of all of these websites told me to update to Firefox vlatest.pre.alpha.from.git.unstable.keyworded.masked.on.fire. I refuse blindly upgrading Firefox ad infinitum because I already suffered the loss of my Firefox profile when migrating from 60 to 68. There are probably more websites affected. This seems to be only happening to Firefox on Gentoo Linux. I am not using any extensions whatsoever. I could do it on my phone, but I don't want to do everything on my phone. It's draining my battery and my fingers are too big to quickly type on most touchscreens without typos.
I have strange artifacts on images on few websites - notably youtube.com Same behavior appeared on 68.8.0 and 76.0.1 But I use custom-cflags & custom-optimization so what do I know... I compiled Waterfox form poly-c with custom-* and same CFLAGS and had not yet experienced those artifacts (proper respect to that dude and Waterfox devs!). No to throw names but this absolute degradation in user experience is Mozilla's own fault in my opinion.

Can you reproduce this with an upstream binary? Or firefox-bin, which is taken directly from Mozilla AFAIK? It seems unlikely this is Gentoo specific -- which would mean the best people to help are Mozilla.

Please provide detailed steps how to reproduce. Likely on a website which can be used without login. Please create a screencast demonstrating the problem, too. Also, use firefox's safe-mode just in case...
enable hwaccel and provide your emerge --info. cflags

I have re-emerged www-client/firefox-68.8.0 with the following USE flags disabled: custom-cflags custom-optimization The problem still persists. Also, my global CFLAGS are "-O2 -pipe -march=znver1 -ggdb" and they otherwise affect Firefox. So, it's not the CFLAGS that are causing this.
The problem persists in www-client/firefox-bin-76.0.1 with USE: ffmpeg l10n_pl l10n_zh-CN pulseaudio wayland
Created attachment 642082 [details] Output of firefox-wayland when getting NPC location of WoW NPC from wowhead.com I have run both firefox-bin-wayland and firefox-wayland in CLI. The binary version returned nothing of use, but here's an output from the non-binary Firefox. It strongly indicates errors with the JavaScript backend.
The problem persists after the following actions were taken: - recompiled dev-lang/spidermonkey-60.5.2_p0-r4 without USE flags custom-cflags and custom-optimization - removed /var/lib/flatpak - removed disfunctional overlay flatpak-overlay
Also dumped dconf settings to confirm there are no references to flatpak there - there aren't any. Nice hardcode.
After recompiling everything and rebooting, dconf is looking for its configs in yet another crazy directory, this time somewhere in /usr/local. I think this is a problem with dconf so that's a red herring, sorry about that.
