Firefox freezes on websites with video content

Firefox seems to freeze up after a while (the duration seems random) when there is a tab with video content playing. The audio can be heard to be playing, but the video does not update and the browser UI itself is unusable. This seems to be a new issue since Firefox 90. I have tried refreshing Firefox, but that did not help.

My add-ons are Bitwarden, uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, Auto Tab Discard, SponsorBlock, Nuke Anything, and Facebook Containers. My about:support is at this Pastebin link.
