My screen goes black temporarily when I go fullscreen on youtube
When I go fullscreen on youtube the whole screen goes black for a few seconds where the video is still playing.

You could try disabling the transition effect to see whether that helps. I regret that the switch may be a bit jarring as a result:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste full-s and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter preference to display a dialog where you can edit 200 200 to 0 0 and then click OK
Does that work any better?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
Yes thank you making changes in about:config was able to fit my problem
