Firefox not fully loading hyperlinks in web pages, can't click on them

Recently, when I load a web page in Firefox, it frequently doesn't load the hyperlinks. They just appear as plain text, and I can't click on them.

This doesn't happen in Chrome or Edge.

I'm using Firefox 115.15.0 ESR on one computer, and whatever the latest regular (non-ESR) version is on another. Both are Windows computers. It seems to happen more often if I start scrolling on the web page before it's fully loaded (but this wasn't a problem until a couple months ago).

If I reload the page, the hyperlinks usually work, but sometimes I have to reload twice.

This is the first thing that's ever made me think of switching to another browser since I started using Firefox years ago.

Any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?

Examples please. Steps to replicate and screenshots would be nice. What OS?

Windows 10 and Windows 11. There's really nothing to show. I go to a web page, for example for our local radio station. They list several stories, and what should be links to various programs. I try to click on one of the links, and nothing happens. I try another link, and nothing happens. The link information that usually shows up at the bottom of Firefox doesn't display. But it not just one website, it has happened on many different ones. I just happen to go to the radio web page frequently.
