I am running W11, and use Firefox for browsing.

Virtually all the time everything works fine, however there are occasions when I need to click on something or complete a question, and the displayed page is shaded, and I cannot proceed to carry out the required task. I have tried using MS Edge, and have no such problems, causing me to try the task first on Firefox, and then resorting to using Edge.
I have not changed any settings lately, but wonder if a setting has been changed when W11 updated itself recently.

Hope that someone can decipher the above!

As always, your help and advice is appreciated.........................
Hail and Well Met, gehenna! Using exactly the same OS and browser (both current) I have precisely the same inexplicable phenomenon. The "flashing boxes" appear and disappear in a fraction of a second. This only occurs shortly after an elective system reboot. Let's hope someone here knows whats happening.
