Likely the intel flashing bug that Jeff and a few others have been looking into. It'd be good to at least confirm this is happening on an intel GPU with about:support info.

Yes, Intel GPU. See attached about-support.txt.

I also use the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and have the same problems. I'm on firefox 70b3

Attached file about-supporting.txt (deleted) —

Things got much worse in 69.0.
I can also see the huge flashing black rectangles in the page content (e.g. MDN).
IMHO, it renders webrender pretty unusable, even for tests.

Maros - curious to know if you still see this bug happening?

menzo do you see this with current beta?

If I set it to true it seems not to turn on:
