Firefox sometimes crashes when I'm on kbin.social: happens to anyone else?

As title suggested.

Has happened to me at least 5-6 times, every time it happens I am logged on to kbin.social and have some other tabs opened at the same time... So I am strongly suspicious that kbin has something to do with it, but I could be wrong.

I've almost never seen Firefox crashing on my OS before. Not sure if it is a bug of some sort.

I have seen this happen on Android when using the PWA with Firefox. If I open it, then switch to other apps, and then come back to it hours later, it immediately crashes. When I open it again, it will work fine, unless I switch away from it without closing it again for a few hours, where it will crash again.

Might be related to your issue, or it might be an issue with how Firefox does PWAs on mobile. I have seen a few other bugs with Firefox PWAs, so I assumed it was a Firefox problem.

@zlatiah always have a ton of kbin tabs open, never crashed on me.
Are you running any scripts or extensions for kbin ?

Nope, just native kbin.social. Firefox almost never crashes on any other occasions either, so it's probably just my issue then, I'll have to look into this

Nope.
With oddities like this I'd suggest a fresh Firefox profile. I've had massively slow rendering on some websites after moving mine when distro hopping and a fresh profile solved it.

I've never had this problem. You can use the task manager to monitor your tabs and extensions.
