Public bug reported: Screen tearing on Firefox when watching a video or scrolling down a webpage with a lot of text.
Steps to reproduce video screen tearing 1. Open Firefox browser on and go to Youtube 2. Select a video but I recommend a screen tearing video test 3. View the whole video and screen tearing occurs. Steps to reproduce scroll tearing 1. Open a webpage on Firefox that has a lot of text like a Wiki 2. Scroll down the page and tearing is seen when scrolling Tried recording the screen with Kazam to illustrate the issue but it does not record the screen tearing.
