There is flickering and flashing on the screen on my iMac with a 3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 and Radeon Pro 575X 4 GB graphics processor. What should I do?

Hi shyamalc, Try turning off Hardware Acceleration

I already tried that. The flashing still happens.

Does this happen with only Firefox in general, without even a page loaded? (E.g., the blank new tab page, about:blank.) Does it happen on certain pages, or only video?

One cause of various issues for Mac is FF not installing properly. Can you download a fresh copy of Firefox, then delete the current Firefox app. Then open the firefox.dmg and manually drag the firefox.app out of it, and to your applications?
