HDR videos are washed out

When viewing any YouTube HDR videos they appeared washed out. This problem only occurs in Firefox. I've checked the same videos in Safari and Chrome and they look fine. I'm using version 119.0 (64-bit) on a Mac running Ventura 13.4. No extensions are installed in Firefox.

Any help in solving this would be much appreciated :)

Try to force AV1 by changing YouTube Settings > Playback and performance > AV1 settings from "Auto (recommended)" to "Always prefer AV1".

Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't fix it. I even reloaded the page and restarted Firefox to no avail. Anything else I should try?

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
