Window Tearing(?) Issue on Nobara (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy,

Just installed Nobara again and am trying to figure out why this is happening. I think it's a firefox thing since I haven't seen it happen in any other application; basically anytime I do a lot of scrolling, the firefox window breaks down and I can see my desktop background behind it. It always happens in the bottom right cornerish part of the window. I'm up to date on all updates as far as I'm aware. I did some googling and checking out the nobara discord but I couldn't find anything related. I tried recording my screen via spectacle to show the issue, but it wouldn't capture the issue.

Any help would be appreciated; I am a linux beginner so dumbing down any info you have would be nice. Thanks!

I'm in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn't seem to replicate the issue...

For browsers, in general, flatpak and snap are worse than native packages.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
