What happened?

I recently did a full change off of intel and nvidia to AMD and also reinstalled arch linux I dont know how else to describe this other then zen seemingly tiling in its own window.

resizing the window can worp sections of the browser and or just make that section not render the site until you restart zen works completely fine in fullscreen though. [edit : fullscreening video players makes the video have a red filter] if Im missing something please tell me, if you need any logs just tell me where to find them and I'll give them to you

+1, for me it divides in two (vertically). The bottom part renders as just the background while the webview is cut up until that "half". tiling and untiling the window seems to fix the issue, but just for a brief moment

hey so its been a while since I made this issue, I forgot to mention but I did actually manage to fix it. I created a new profile for zen and kinda hodgepodged my old data into it and that seemingly fixed the issue? its something in the profile folder thats causing it and I dont know what it is, I just did some trial and error until I had my data and the bug was gone

edit : oh and the weird red filter over videos? amd drivers. I forgot some dependencies

I have fixed by adding all optional environment variables to enable wayland support in firefox.
