Public bug reported:

Example video: https://youtu.be/ZCPkOpMHB7g (HTML5 player)

lspci -vvv|grep -A 12 "VGA compatible"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: Dell Device 01da
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
	Latency: 0
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 43
	Region 0: Memory at fea00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
	Region 2: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	Region 4: I/O ports at ecb8 [size=8]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: i915

After I added this in 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, tearing disappeared in Firefox, but not in Chromium:

   Driver      "intel"
