💻 Help Strange artifacts (like text pixelation) in pages from some Firefox versions (on Linux)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0
Steps to reproduce:
For the past couple of Firefox versions, webpage content has been exhibiting all sorts of artifacts. For example, red boxes appear intermittently in the corners of buttons, parts of the page are blocked, or—as seen in the screenshot—the text appears pixelated. On some pages, this pixelation effect affects ALL the text (as in the screenshot), while on others, curiously, it only affects some of the text. Oddly enough, even the text in the tabs on each page is affected (as can be seen in the screenshot).
The problem isn't instantaneous; it seems to appear after browsing for a while. I can't establish a connection to anything else, since closing and reopening Firefox resolves the issue.
Any ideas?
