@firefox Anyone got issues with youtube vids crashing after a couple of seconds? Tab does not react to inputs anymore - and the mouse pointer is gone within the tab. Closing the tab works.
Tried with all extensions disabled - same.
There's plenty of free memory, Processors are mostly idling - so not the usual stuff that brings ff down.
Sometimes a reboot fixes it for 1 or 2 vids, sometimes not. Any ideas appreciated (non-developer user, so please don't expect technical details, sorry)

What OS are you on? I remember a similar issue on Ubuntu with Firefox installed from Snap.

maybe you are a little short on RAM? OS and apps keep growing, but installed RAM does not grow with them. :(

@CadeJohnson That's what came to my mind first, but only about 5 Gigs out of 16 used.
Must be something different :/

@firefox It's more than just youtube vids freezing and crashing single tabs. It's also random crashes of the browser itself (videoconferencing seems to trigger ... not sure what else) .
Is there an easy way of undoing some of the latest updates until this has been fixed?
