After some more tests I discovered that the problem occurs on all my
machines using integrated GPU and intel_drv.so driver (i5-2520M,
i5-2450M, i7-2600, i5-8250U). The workaround is to switch to
modesetting_drv.so or rotate to portrait. After that Firefox starts to
work as expected.
On builds based on discrete GPU (in my case Nvidia GTX) Firefox
works ok.
