I cannot pin this down, given the inconsistency of the problem: I have frequently found that a tab I have opened, such as in this forum or from news feeds, the tab itself will open but when I use the mouse to move to the new tab there is no text shown. To get the text to appear I have to put the cursor in the URL bar and then hit the Enter key, whereupon the hidden text will be visible.

Just restarted the computer which did not solve the mysterious behavior.

Later: Having found some time to experiment further, this seems to be a Firefox problem, as it does not occur using either MS Edge nor Google Chrome, and, thus, not likely to be a Windows 11 problem per se.

It seems as though the problem is caused by Zoom Page WE, a Firefox extension; this information was posted as a reply to my Firefox thread started yesterday. How that was discovered was not indicated. I doubt that I would have found this, as the standard testing method for finding a miscreant Firefox extension did not work, so I never got to the bottom of my add-ons list, where Zoom Page WE is located.

There is a forthcoming update to the extension; if that does remedy the situation, I shall report same here and mark this as solved.

I run the latest Firefox with NO extensions, and don't have that problem.
So I think you nailed it... it's that extension or an extension, causing the problem.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
Zoom Page WE, Version 19.2, has been released. Based on my testing of links both in Firefox and elsewhere, all of which worked correctly, I am going to mark this thread as solved.
