Running Linux Mint 21.3 EDGE Cinnamon iso. Linux kernel 6.5.0-41. Not sure what happened here or what the cause was, occasionally happens when using Firefox. It'll bug out like this for a few seconds, then when I move my curser over it everything goes back to normal.
I've also experienced an issue where, when opening a tab or doing something in Firefox (usually Google docs), the entire system will randomly do a partial reboot? best way I can explain it is it'll go black, flash (what I assume is) the BIOS terminal screen, then load in my lock screen; all my open softwares will have closed out and I'd have to open it again. Idk if the system is rebooting fully when this happens or not but it sure as hell feels like it.
Are these related? are they Firefox issues or is something fucky with my drivers?
I've verified everything is up to date like 6 times just in case.
Update: Have not personally resolved either issue. unsure if they are unrelated. I can't seem to replicate the issue, unsure if they will be resolved by a random update or not, though the issues do seem to be fairly recent and known about; see comments for what I found on the Internet.
Reminds me of r/Ooer back in the 10s, haha. No idea why that's happening though, never seen anything like that.
The layout of that sub killed me
