content: Looks like problems with Firefox and some spyware (First of its kind women exporters program in the bottom).Did you tried another browser like Edge? If it doesn't happen its on Firefox, If it still happens then it's system related.You can try to reset Firefox to his default configuration:Menu in the top right corner - Help - Troubleshooting - Refresh Firefox

content: Yikes. I wouldn't want to do that if I don't have to. That will be a last resort option for sure.Weird that it's only stuff from UPS web pages...

content: You can make a copy of your profile so it can be restored.C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ProfilesWhere XYZ is your user name on your computer. There will be a folder in there called something.default ("something" being a random string of letters). Pretty much everything is stored in there. I always keep a copy for back up purposes.edit: spelling

content: That is almost certainly a compositing error, not one in rendering as such. It’s unlikely there’s anything special about UPS, it just happens to be what’s in the affected area of RAM.It’s basic, but have you restarted the computer? It’s unlikely this type of corruption would survive a reboot.

content: FF is currently at 68.0. Get FF to download the latest update and let it restart itself.FF often goes a bit wonky like that when updates are pending, sometimes the update is downloaded and FF just needs to be restarted.Don't ask me why it does this, I've noticed bad YT video hiccups that went away as soon as I let FF update itself.This might be similar.
