Could you please check if this has this worked in even older versions of Firefox / when it regressed (if this is a regression)?

Hi,

I've tested this using Firefox Nightly version 75.0a1 (2020-02-12) (64-bit), Beta 74.0b2 (64-bit) and Release 73.0 (64-bit) for windows 10 pro and I’m also able to reproduce the issue. Based on this I will mark each respective flag as affected.

Best,
Clara

Still happening with Firefox 81 on Windows 10, in compatibility mode or not.
Even when I apply all the userChrome fixes I was able to find, the best thing I could get is a quicker white flash.
This really messes with my eyes at night.
