[Bug 1786610] [NEW] coudy / murky screens; not able to find how to correct this online via searchiing forums

[Stan Osborne]

Public bug reported:

I have been researching and trying to fix this for months.  I started on
16-04LTS but now am trying out 18-04LTS.  No success with either version
so I am filing a bug report.  Firefox is chaing rrapidly.  At some point
people started observing this problme.    Some people have been able to
fix this problem on their own, I have not.

ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04
Package: firefox 61.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-29.31-generic 4.15.18
Uname: Linux 4.15.0-29-generic x86_64
AdditionalInfo:
 I am certain this problem is a bug and not a new feature.  
  This problem has existed since at least 16-04LTS.  Since many others were reporting same I did not until now.  I had hoped it was fixed in this new release.
  Have researched forums and found this to be a reoccuring problem, but not able to find FIX/workaround for my version of Firerfox.  It seems Firefox configuration methods change faster than than the online how to I am finding.  Yes I have lookied in the Ubutun formus too.
