I have noticed that when watching video using Firefox (Youtube, Youtube TV, Netflix, Nebula) that randomly, the video will just cut to black and then fade in. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. A hack I found that fixes it is just entering/exiting fullscreen, which seems to "reset" the video player. I do not know what causes this, it just shows up when I am watching things. I have noticed that it seems to show up when a video cuts from a darker scene to a brighter scene, although this is not consistent. I am confident that Firefox is the issue because I have watched videos extensively in Chrome, where it does not show up. This also persists if I connect an external display and mirror or extend my screen to it.

I am using a 2023 Apple MacBook Pro 14", with the M2 Pro SoC. My OS is macOS Ventura 13.5.1 .

I have tried solutions that involve messing with the gfx.color-management settings in the about:config page. I also have hardware acceleration turned off, if that is possibly the cause.

Does anyone have any clue as to what causes this?

Update: Having hardware acceleration on does not fix the issue.
