I don't have a problem in my 64-bit Firefox 115.7.0 ESR as well.
But when I disable Javascript (by an addon that I can use for sites I want to disable Javascript on) I get about the same result. It only happens directly, not after 10 seconds or so:
So, indeeed, maybe some addon is interfering. Switch off all addons/extensions to be sure those are not conflicting with Youtube.
