Forum is Choppy on Linux + Firefox

I have some serious frame choppiness issues with scrolling on the forum when I am on Linux (any distro) and using Firefox. I don’t have this issue with Windows and Firefox.

I can test other browsers on Linux later when I have the time, curious if anyone has this issue?

if it matters I have a GTX 1070, latest drivers from the Manjaro repos. Happy to help with debugging but my web debugging skills aren’t that great.

about:config

Set acceleration-force-enable to true (double click). Restart Firefox.

Doesn’t this cause bugginess with Firefox and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers?

I’ve only had a couple of major issues. Closing Firefox usually remedies the issue.

Better than screen tearing.

Curse of Linux

Good to know, ty! Tad off-topic but I’ve always been a little frustrated with the proprietary drivers for day to day stuff. Performance is great, but small things… like my idle GPU temp is always high, monitors with different refresh rates can behave strangely.

Ugh, lol
