Honestly, I've just about had enough (lemmy.zip)

I'm doing my best to continue using Firefox, but it's becoming incredibly annoying, and I'm seriously at my wit's end and just about to give up on it permanently.

I've noticed during video calls it causes my computer to completely freeze up and require a reboot sometimes.

And on my phone, sometimes when I'm reading, it will just make my screen completely stop responding to me and I have to force reboot my phone in order to fix it.

I know that Gecko is the only other web engine option to fight Chromium's Blink, but I'm seriously just about fed up enough with Firefox to say fuck it.

Servo or ladybird may be the only real hope left.

If everyone else says it works fine and it's just you, well, I wonder what's wrong with your system. Firefox is just a symptom. It could just be Firefox. It could be any number of other things wrong. For me a great example is when webgl fails I blamed Firefox. Turns out I have Nvidia drivers broken and it failed to enable hardware acceleration. A system locking up because of a rogue all? I smell something else wrong.

Chromium works fine on the same system
