Description:
When I'm using firefox and I open pico-8, the firefox windows flash black and then show horrible graphical glitches like green artifacts and mosaics of other window contents (see screenshots). Focusing the firefox windows makes them behave normally again. When I close pico-8 again, the same thing happens.

I don't know if this is a problem with firefox, pico-8, or some dependency (sdl2?) but I feel like it shouldn't happen.

This has happened for a while, and I seem to remember another application causing it (maybe retroarch) but I haven't tested that.

Additional info:
* package version(s) firefox 108.0.2-1 pico-8 0.2.5e-2
occurred on other versions of both packages too
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Open firefox
Leave firefox window open
Open pico-8

firefox works fine in general. There is not enough detail in this report to identify an Arch packaging issue. pico-8 is AUR so not supported here. Please visit the proper support channels (forum/IRC/etc) to see if anyone can help figure out what's going on with your system.
