Since the update, both Firefox and Firefox-wayland freeze and then crash regularly, at some pages always immediately: e.g., https://video.prosieben.de/serien/scrubs-die-anfaenger. Also, when clicking the >> button at the toolbar's right side to get the remaining bookmarks, it freezes+crashes immediately. journalctl -r output after crashes:

Addition to my above -1 Karma: This occurs only once Fedora KDE was sleeping some time, which after some time leads for unknown reasons all processes to be closed. After that, the above problems appear persistently until reboot. They also appear with Thunderbird then.

What goes along with this changed "state" is that the pts change: e.g., if I usually open the first terminal on KDE, the first one is pts/1. After this "close every process" sleep occurrence, the first terminal opens as pts/0. I cannot say if there is a relation, only that there is a correlation (tested 3 times).

I guess this problem only affects Firefox, but Firefox is not the origin. I cannot say much more and have no time to get deeper into the topic atm unfortunately.

py0xc3 commented & provided feedback a year ago

Another supplement: There are two issues. And one is definitely in the new firefox build, occuring only in firefox-112.0.2-1.fc38. The other issue that correlates to the changed pts just makes the firefox-issue occur much more often. But there is a dedicated issue in Firefox. When starting movies in Netflix, it always crashes, even if the other issue is absent and other applications work. Some other pages, too.

Or there other tests with KDE in here?

Please file that at bugzilla.redhat.com

py0xc3 commented & provided feedback a year ago

I try already :) But it always crashes before I can submit. I have no other machine available atm. I guess I have to downgrade later and try again. But given the overall issue, I am not sure if that will help, its not sure if Firefox is the origin.
