I dunno if it was the nvidia driver update or some other update but lately it feels like the screen tearing issues I had on firefox have been mostly fixed. I might've just gotten used to it but its definitely less noticeable.
Is it just me or has screen tearing be alleviated?
Screen tearing in firefox is resolved by enabling hardware acceleration in firefox. It's disabled by default as it causes issues in some setups. Firefox was last updated March 24th and it did not change this default setting.
