I'm still getting a bit of tearing when watching Netflix but it looks fine system-wide so I'm assuming the issue is with Firefox. Will try with Chromium instead.

Get Ungoogled Chromium if you really must go with Chromium. But I expect it's not Firefox per se that's at fault. Does it also occur with VLC?

I didn't use VLC but yes, it still happens. Like I said, the shell command resolves the issue up to a point but doesn't seem to agree with a dual monitor setup and even though the "force full composition pipeline" option is enabled for both monitors in the xorg.conf, those options are disabled in nvidia-settings after reboot. Anyway, I can't objectively look at the screen at this point and will have to smoke more weed to mitigate the effects. Cheers and thanks!
