From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Run it through the terminal.
This will give you a good inkking as to what is happening in the background. We also need to know how you have it installed via rpm pack, or flatpak?
Sounds like a serious bug. What's the distro and package format? It might be a single package issue.
fedora 40 so package rpm
Create a new Firefox profile, set it as default, then restart Firefox and see if the problem still persists.

I get this sporadically, probably once a week on average. Most of the time it seems to be caused by a specific tab and resolves itself after closing the tab (in my case Slack is the most common culprit).
This happens to me too.
something similar happens with Debian 12 currently, it's super obnoxious and has made me seriously reconcider using Firefox. It freezes all Firefox windows, you can close them but it no longer updates the icons as you hover, nor let's you do anything in Firefox, and if left unchecked will eventually hard crash plasma
I recently experienced something similar on one of my PCs with an nvidia card (running Fedora Atomic) - turns out it was weirdness with wayland and switching to x11 made it go away.
Please add the version of Firefox to the post so others can be better informed
Whenever you have issue with Firefox, first thing that you should try is 'Troubleshoot mode' -
Firefox Menu > Help > Troubleshoot Mode
Is your laptop linked to an external screen? Sometimes, I get the same problem and unplugging/plugging the screen solves the issue.
Nope none of them are
