We've seen this on select AMD (https://bugzil.la/1417442) and Nvidia (https://bugzil.la/1422850) video cards. What GPU and driver version are you running?

I am using Intel, but Nvidia. On my current machine (Windows) I have a GeForce GTS 450 and the driver version is 23.21.13.8813. The linux one is Arch and has a 1060 Max Q, but I'm not at that computer and don't know the driver. Maybe selection bias, but I think it happens much less on the linux computer.

Too late to make an edit, but I am still experiencing the issue on the Windows version and FF58

Doh! Missed your followup. Looks like the exact same card and driver version are mentioned in Bug 1422850 (https://bugzil.la/1422850), and that disabling hardware acceleration should temporarily fix it.

I'd suggest signing into Bugzilla and following that bug so you get email updates when it changes status.
