What causes this?

Hello everybody,

 

recently I've been starting to have this issue when web browsing. See the picture I've attached.

 

It only appears in Firefox, not in any other program or window. It only stays for a few seconds then flickers a few times and disappears again. Sometimes it only affects a button or field or even a single row of text on whatever page I'm on. As soon as i hover over it with my mouse it disappears again.

It happens when I'm connected via USB-C to Ethernet and when I'm using WiFi.

Restarting my laptop helps but only for a couple of hours. I've reinstalled Firefox but to no avail. Switching to chrome is something I'd rather not do.

Is this some bug in firefox or is it hardware related? It kinda seems like some GPU issue or artifacts to me.

 

My Specs are as follows:

XPS 13 9350

i5 6200U @ 2,3 GHz

iGPU Intel HD Graphics 520

8 GB Ram

1920x1080 Screen (non-Touch)

Does it happen as well when you disable hardware acceleration in Firefox?
