Looks like you have some extensions installed. Are you able to reproduce this problem when in Troubleshoot Mode?

Might also be worth checking if you have the most up-to-date Graphics Drivers as well, if you haven't lately. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

This could be a problem with the TLS 1.3 Early Data feature also known as Zero Round Trip Time Resumption (0rtt). You can try to set security.tls.enable_0rtt_data = false on the about:config page to disable this feature until this is fixed by Google or Mozilla to see if that helps.
