Firefox 89 hangs occasionally
by Jefferson from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JZ8Q)
Hello!
Since the day Firefox was updated to version 89, Firefox hangs in some specific scenarios: during watching of Instagram "Stories" (these are short videos, which play one after another) to be specific. It doesn't hang right away - you watch some videos and then, during watching of some video it suddenly hangs. Also, it hanged during login process to Instagram once. I had FF89 hangs on VK.com (while watching short video) and GOG.com (no videos) as well, but it happened way less on these sites (almost not using VK.com though).
In Firefox I have Protection Settings set to "Strict", if it matters.
Anyone noticed something like this? Or maybe my system is just too old for this stuff... :rolleyes:
