Closed as requested although I'm not sure a reboot is ever required when
updating Firefox as it's not been necessary here when using Firefox on
three different Ubuntu releases for several years. Other factors may
have made a reboot necessary as you said there were other updates.
I'm using a status of 'Invalid' as no evidence that Firefox was itself
the cause of the problem that you experienced but thank you for
initially reporting your problem.
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Today, Feb 22, 2023 I used apt upgrade which included firefox.
Now, when I try a youtube video, for example,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0LGUC2GmWU
Firefox hangs, displaying the loading circle.
