So on certain websites when I zoom in these weird white lines and boxes appear on the screen. they only appear when zoomed in and when I put my cursor in certain places. Usually when I move my cursor they disappear but I was able to catch these. Im on firefoxes most recent update on a lenovo laptop with windows 11. As far as I know this only happens in firefox, another thing is I recently updated my drivers due to screen flicker.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to apply changes.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

Both of those didn't work and the lines persisted. Though it seems the lines are a bit less prevalent now then they used to be but that might be a coincidence. The other website this glitch happens on is Pokemon showdown

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
