This only happened after I updated my nVidia drivers from 390.65 to 390.77. Actual results: Windows flashing and random flickering and visual artifacts. Expected results: No flickering, flashing, or visual artifacts.

I've had this problem with previous nvidia drivers. I do believe the 390.77 drivers create flickering more often though.

Same problem here with Nvidia 390.77. Easiest way to reproduce flickering: 1. Try open bunch of random websites, like https://www.youtube.com/ https://www.twitch.tv/ https://stackoverflow.com/ https://twitter.com/ https://www.polygon.com/ https://www.theverge.com/ https://www.usatoday.com/ 2. Open http://kokoska.janeek.eu/ (some random fanmade website for Path of Exile game). 3. Close some random tabs and close kokoska.janeek.eu 4. Open http://kokoska.janeek.eu/ again. Will flicker almost always.
Is it fixed in the latest Nightly? (gfx.webrender.all;true) Then we could dupe this over to bug 1431560.

I believe this is a dupe of our main flicker bug (windows/NV). Please ping back if you still see issues.
