Is that my problem, site problem or Mint

When you installed that video card, what trouble did you have ?

The issues in that thread, might have been resolved in the
fullness of time, but it is hard to guess how much more
mature the AMDGPU driver is today, with respect to 9060XT.
As otherwise, your lineup is skating on the edge of something.
It would be meaningless, for me to test on my fleet of low
end NVidia junk. I'm not a close enough match, to your hardware,
for my test results to mean anything.
I've had the odd bit of trouble with NVidia and Driver Manager
not reporting properly. Removing all the 580 packages, managed
to make the Driver Manager display the options properly again,
and I don't know what the root cause ("technical description") of
that is, as the problem seemed to happen without me doing anything
to mess it up in the first place. That was like an update of
an existing driver, broke things on purpose (a little "message"
from NVidia, Nvidia waves "hi" and "buy more save more").
The way AMDGPU works, is different. And it is different, in likely
more than one way, from what happens under the hood with NVidia.
The problem is, you have the exposure of not really knowing
what is going on with the release control on AMDGPU. Like whether
AMD is close to supporting your card... or not.
So in summary, the "beginning of support" for a card causes pain,
and the "trailing edge of support" for a card *also* causes pain.
Only the middle five or six years, are trouble free.
Suggestion: Do a parallel install of the newest distro, and retest the URL there.
While you can do "about:support" in Firefox, do inxi -F
and so on, check the Error Console in the browser,
check the stderr output when starting Firefox from Terminal,
maybe that won't be enough to identify a problem. The stripe of
desktop suggests a problem with compositing. That never happens.
I've toyed with the idea of a video card upgrade here, on
one machine, but some options are astronomically expensive,
and two other options "are not ripe", their software suite sucks.
The industry just lost another sale.
