Green video playback after update
I did some googling first and it seems to be an on and off issue mozilla has had with years. Anyway, whenever I play a video (be it youtube, twitter, instagram, even gifs on twitter actually) the video will often mess up and become a chaotic jumbled garbled up mess of green with junk artifacts over the video. The audio will play fine. It's like watching a scrambled TV station from a 90s bootleg cablebox, but green.
This issue doesn't exist in any of my other browsers.
I'd love to continue supporting Firefox instead of Chrome, but this is a persistent issue across the entire internet, so it's kinda obvious I need to stop using Firefox until this is patched. Thanks.

What OS? What version of Firefox? System info would also be helpful.

I recommend you run these tools to verify drivers are current? https://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HPIA.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
Try to enter about:config in the address bar and flip the value of media.ffvpx-hw.enabled, then reload the tab.

While that seemed to work temporarily yesterday (without a lot of testing) it's back to not handling youtube and other videos well today. Everything works great on chrome, and I even do a lot of work in blender. My graphics drivers are up to date as well.

I used that and my graphics drivers are all up to date. This seems to be a firefox issue only as chrome works fine and I do a lot of work in Blender as well, no issues anywhere else
Try testing in Windows Sandbox (VM) to see if you have the same issue. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/
