Are you using other add-ons?

Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I'm pretty sure it's uBlock.

But I'm on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting "distro specific" bugs in recent months, so I'm chalking it up to "my OS + Firefox" and not "uBlock"

I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.

Reporting back, you were absolutely correct. Hardware acceleration was turned back on, and turning it off fixed the problem.

I'll give it a shot. I don't use flatpaks, but I think I've already disabled hardware acceleration for a previous issue? I'll report back once I've checked/tried it out.
