This is exactly what I last week and this seems to have fixed the issue. But the point still stands, I don't expect my mom who uses Ubuntu to do these things.
Well it crashes my computer like 3 times a day on Linux, I now know its because of hardware acceleration, but I don't expect average users to keep using Firefox. I'm just getting tired of all the things that is happening to Firefox. Although I've been using it for the past 10 years, I might have to look for alternatives.
Or... its being over reported in the west. US counts people who died with covid in the total number, maybe India is a bit more sensible in that regard.
