Embedded Google Maps not working on Firefox

Ever since I switched to Firefox I've noticed many websites with embedded Google Maps don't work properly on Firefox. It got really annoying but I ended up opening those websites on Chrome. I tried troubleshooting by clearing cache, disabling themes, and trying private mode but no dice. After some searching I came across a suggestion to disable WebGL (set webgl.disabled to true in about:config). That fixed the map issue but wondering if there's a solution that allows me to use these websites without disabling WebGL.

Attaching screenshots of the map issue with WebGL enabled and the fix with WebGL disabled.
