I can't remember the last time I saw Firefox hard crash to desktop like this, instead of the individual content tab dying. Impressive!

I'm having no trouble with Firefox 108 on Fedora

Do you have some kind of extension like an ad blocker? It’s fine in Firefox and Safari on a clean install so I’m wondering whether there might be some issues related to how large the page is or possibly a video driver problem.

It crashes for me on macOS. I have a couple of password manager extensions and React Developer Tools installed. I would not be surprised if it's LastPass.

Edit: Interestingly, Chrome flashes a couple of times too when I scroll down to the section of the page with the Carto map plugin. I can see when I inspect the DOM that there's supposed to be an iframe there, but it looks Chrome is just killing the iframe rather than crashing to desktop.

Safari hangs but does not crash when it gets to Carto. So something is screwy with that map plugin.

Works fine here, FF 108.0.2 on MacOS 12.6.1, Apple silicon

latest firefox running on windows 10.

I have a bunch of addons and some of them block scripts. No crash.

and MacOS Safari.

same here.
