** Description changed:

  Possible, proposed solutions
  ----------------------------

- Please install from these channels and report back with success or
- failure.
+ Option 1: Please install from these channels and report back with
+ success or failure.

-   snap refresh --channel candidate/core22 firefox
-   snap refresh --edge chromium
+   snap refresh --channel candidate/core22 firefox
+   snap refresh --edge chromium
+ 
+ Option 2:
+ 
+   chromium --ozone-platform=wayland
+   MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox

  If nothing works, it is possible around the issue by disabling hardware
  acceleration.

  Original bug report
  -------------------

  Snap packages which use hardware accelerated graphics are broken after
  the last routine system upgrade via apt. My system is using AMD Radeon
  RX 5500 XT graphics card from ASUS, with stock amdgpu kernel drivers.
  Two snap packages which are now unusable are Mozilla Firefox and
  Chromium browsers. Both display animated speckled color garbage inside
  their windows, overlayed with the correct image. Disabling hardware
  acceleration in the settings for the snap version of Firefox fixed it.
  Also, Firefox version installed from the original Mozilla tarball into
  /opt/ works just fine with the acceleration enabled on the same system,
  as well as glmark2 benchmark. Looks like the issue is only affecting
  snap packages.
