Is this issue related to my ancient 15-year-old graphics card, my browser, or something else?

Why are you using the ESR version?

I would either add the Mozilla repo or install the Flatpak

Edit: I saw your other comments

What desktop are you on?

I have Flatpak Firefox and it's giving me the same issue as Firefox ESR.

I'm using Firefox ESR because Flatpak Firefox started freezing after a couple of updates and ESR is super stable.

As for my desktop: Gnome - X11

Have you tried switching to Wayland?

Log out and select the Wayland

[–] KickassWomen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't find that option in my login screen's gear icon menu. I think that the reason why I can't use Wayland is because I have a Radeon HD5450 graphics card that is 15 years old.

Wayland doesn't care much about underlying hardware as that's abstracted away by the kernel level stuff.

Are you using GDM?

Edit: https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland#GNOME_.28supported_since_3.20.2B-.29

It looks like Wayland is the default
