    Hello,

    Am Montag, den 29. Juni schrieb D. R. Evans:
    Following a normal trixie update two or three weeks ago, I have found that I have to reboot my main desktop machine every few days because the video becomes increasingly riddled with unwelcome artefacts as I use the system. The artefacts seem to be triggered, or at least made much worse, after watching youtube videos or using Google Streetview (in Firefox).

    Linux video nowadays is a mystery to me, so I don't know what I might do to address the issue, and suggestions from those who understand these things better would be welcome.

    There was a thread ?Firefox revision crashes Trixie?? from 2026-04-01
    about a problem that might be connected. Have you tried disabling
    OpenGL in firefox?

    Not the exact same, but similar. Firefox crashed my trixie. Logfiles indicated a GPU problem (Radeon R7 250).
    The solution was to disable hardware-acceleration in the firefox
    settings.
    Disabled ?Use recommended performance settings?
    and ?Use hardware acceleration when available?

    Have you tried disabling OpenGL in firefox?
