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

    Just my troubleshooting tips:

    Can you run a benchmark, maybe this one, so we can see it it’s really a general thing not just something on that website? Also we can compare it to other computers, or you can see if changing a setting helps at all.

    Can you see something strange in about:processes? Shift+Esc is its keyboard shortcut.

    Can you try it in other browsers? Something Chrome like (Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi). Does this happen there as well?

    What’s the rest of the hardware? Tried disabling hardware acceleration and see if it makes a difference?

    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?
