Chosen solution

Update your graphics drivers from the manufacturer's site.

If it still happens, you might need to disable hardware acceleration.

HP no longer supports my machine but disabling hardware acceleration seems to have solved the problem. Thanks.

There is a bug in Firefox's webrender with youtube videos when you update to the version 120.
