After some more tests I discovered that the problem occurs on all my 
machines using integrated GPU and intel_drv.so driver (i5-2520M, 
i5-2450M, i7-2600, i5-8250U). The workaround is to switch to 
modesetting_drv.so or rotate to portrait. After that Firefox starts to 
work as expected.

On builds based on discrete GPU (in my case Nvidia GTX) Firefox works ok.

Any ideas?

Could you confirm?

Greg
