    Did you ever report this issue to Mozilla Bugzilla? Next time, do a CTRL-SHIFT-J and see if anything in Error Console is afoot.

    This is HUGE news but sad that it took this long to get something like this working on the Linux side. Could have helped Android years ago probably. Still, Rust strikes again and good to see Nicholas Nethercote (who got poached by Apple) had a hand in this. That dude single-handedly made FF and Rust better with all the Rust contribs he'd done the past few years (https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/). This bodes well for distros too. Let's hope they kick some funding Mozilla's way for finding and then fixing crap THEY break. We all get a better experience as a byproduct.

    Firefox doesn't constantly crash for me either, but it does happen. At worst it crashed GDM, at minimum just the tab. My father on an Nvidia gets GDM crashed with video on Firefox (most of the times), thus have it hard using Wayland. Me using AMD has a more stable day to day experience, with Wayland.

    I have a lot bad things to say about firefox, but crushing isn't one of them.

    I have it doing weeks worth of uptime with dozens of open tabs and it keeps ticking.
