Hi!

You're welcome. At the end of December 2015, I found a workaround to
bypass this error, which I described in the bug report I sent to
FreeDesktop, available at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92716 as I noted in a
previous comment.

Nonetheless, I'll execute the command you asked for, hoping that it
could help to solve the root cause of the problem.

  I open Firefox and after some minutes using it, suddenly the screen
  display is "visually damaged" by a lot of very thin horizontal white
  lines. This began to happen after upgrading to Kubuntu 15.10 and
  someone via IRC suggested me this workaround: Go to KDE System
  Settings -> Display configuration -> Compositor -> Tearing prevention
  (vsync) = set to 'never'; I did that and by fortune it worked!

  After this bug is reviewed and solved, I would like to restore the
  Tearing prevention (vsync) setting to "Automatic" again.

  Thanks in advance for attending this.
