Sites going blank or loading oddly

Frequently, my Firefox (on latest iOS, iPhone 7) loads what appears to be blank pages ... until you try scrolling, and bits of the website appear and disappear. This was happening constantly using Google as my search engine so I tried DuckDuck Go and ... well, it sort of works except for the options bar which sort of floats around on the middle of the screen as you scroll. What the heck?
