How could firefox screwed this up?
Firefox 108.0.1, come with openSUSE by default. Open jetbrains.org, try find the IDEA page to download it, then firefox crashes.
How to recreate: Just open https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/ , it crashes.
@skyblond Wow, my Fedora had 107.0.1 and it did not crash, but the computer started behaving strangely. It started using lots of CPU while scrolling and even my mouse started stuttering. I’m updating now to see what happens with 108.0.1.
@skyblond Could be a good idea to open a bug in OpenSUSE’s tracker then. BTW, another interesting finding is that when I run it with GNOME on Xorg, I don’t encounter any lag. The mouse etc. is fluid as ever. However I encounter a heavy lag while moving the mouse when I’m on GNOME Wayland. Maybe I too need to open a bug but in Fedora’s tracker 😄
@skyblond But both of us having problems with it, albeit kinda different problems, can mean that something is wrong with Firefox itself too. Sounds strange really.
@tansly Normally I would download things on my windows host and copy into the vm. But today I wanted to have a quick test, so I decide to start the vm and install IDEA, just do things in the vm. And it crashed (107.0), meanwhile there is a update running in the background, I thought, hmmm, I'll have a full reboot and see what's going on.
I did a reboot and firefox upgrades to 108, and still crashes. I submit the crash report, if the issue tracking system is working, mozilla guys should be able to know the issue (I saw a very detailed report, which including the os, distro, and the URL I'm accessing to).
@tansly Here is the crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/77169fdf-ddac-4683-ba93-a4fca0221229
Looks like it is related to render.
@skyblond You could also download and try the version distributed at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release to see if that works or if the issue only occurs in the openSUSE distro version.
@tansly Then it might be a openSUSE related issue. I do see FireFox report itself as "FireFox for openSUSE", but I don't know if they changed something other than those version strings.
