I do not experience that issue using Firefox on Plasma (Wayland) in testing.  My guess is 
the cause of your problem is specific to a certain hardware or settings combination.

In my case I have several systems with AMD video cards using the default drivers.  The 
system I am typing on right now is a Ryzen 7 8700G w/ Radeon 780M Graphics.
