A couple of weeks ago I switched to the unstable firefox, (firefox-58.0.1), which required the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords:
Code:
=media-libs/libpng-1.6.34 ~amd64
=dev-lang/rust-1.23.0-r1 ~amd64
=virtual/rust-1.23.0 ~amd64
=dev-util/cargo-0.24.0 ~amd64
=dev-libs/nspr-4.19 ~amd64
=dev-libs/nss-3.36 ~amd64
www-client/firefox ~amd64


After the switch, sometimes, when firefox is not the "active" by mouse selection, window the firefox window does not refresh. For example: If I drag an xterm window over firefox, there are black rectangles on firefox window where I drug the xterm window and firefox does not refresh untill firefox is the active (by mouse selection) window. Another example, I switch to another desk-top (I use OpenBox Windows manager) and then back to the desktop containing Firefox, the entire firefox window is black or has an image on it from the other desktop until I select firefox. This non-refresh seemes to happen about 20% of the time. Any suggestions for fixing firefox? (I do not see this behavior from any other gui application. I checked Libreoffice, Thunderbird, Chromium, Opera and Qutebrowser.)

I have the same problem. My workaround is to use compositing such as xcompmgr or compton.

I guess I should look at my old posts ....

That old solution still works:

In about:config

Code:
layers.acceleration.force-enabled = false



Refresh issue solved.
