Yes, something got messed up here. After last pull, git describe says:

drm-next-2019-12-06-11662-g9455d25f4e3b

whereas with a fresh cloned repo I get:

v5.4-13331-g9455d25f4e3b

I assume the later is right. With this version the bug seems to be
fixed, regardless of the commit count. Tested with different websites
and firefox works as expected again.
