Hello

For the past 8 days, only and only when I'm on the Internet, every time I touch my mouse, my screen flashes white for a fraction of a second (and ONLY when I touch the mouse!) It's very, very, very annoying!

I'm using Firefox.

Does anyone have an idea why?

Thank you

    Hello,

    The white flash may be due to flickering from a display driver issue.

    You should try reinstalling the display driver.

    Best regards.

      Hello

      A driver issue only on the internet!?

      I lean more towards a problem with Firefox and its mouse...

        Hello,

        Yes, indeed, at the time I thought about the display driver; it's possible that the problem comes from Firefox. You could try to repair Firefox or uninstall it and then reinstall it to see if that solves the problem.

        But it's strange to have an issue with your browser and just your mouse.

    Solution found.

    I went to Firefox - tools - settings - general - and at the bottom - performance. I unchecked "Use recommended performance settings" and unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available." Problem solved.

    Hello

    You have a connection that's too fast and you've been caught by the internet cops! LoL

    Jokes aside, does it only happen online?

    Have you tried with another browser?

    Edit: I get some kind of white flash when I close Firefox, could that be related!?
