The screen is flickering between black and transparent, no surfing is possible.

I took a GPU capture, and "pass 7/framebuffer/Composite/" is empty.

We need to detect this code path in renderer, and call the
legacy draw_color_target method.

Hello,

Could you please provide QA with STR for verifying this ticket ?

Thank you in advance!

Sure - ensure that you have webrender enabled (you can confirm via about:support) and then:

  • Set gfx.webrender.picture-caching to false in about:config
  • Restart the browser.

If you see anything other than a blank white screen, it's verified :)

Hello! Reproduced the issues using Firefox 71.0a1 (20191003214801) on Windows 10x64 and STR from comment 6.
The issue is verified fixed with firefox 71.0b9 (20191111170815) on Windows 10x64, macOS 10.12 and Ubuntu 18.04. No blank screen presented while using Webrender and setting gfx.webrender.picture-caching to false. Thank you for STR Glenn.
