Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the answers. I think I remember seeing a similar issue one or two years ago and it was a wrong compiling option used in the package that was giving Firefox a hard time on some specific hardware. It was exactly like @Legimet said: you needed to switch to another windows to unfreeze. My memory is fuzzy and I can’t find the issue back.
I don’t think reporting bugs help as the debian firefox bugs seems completely unmaintained. There’s lot of very old report that have no way to be reproduced.
But, following @RedGreen925 , I investigated extensions. I’m not an extension guy (Adblock, Bitwarden and Consent-o-matic, that’s all) but I realized that I had recently enabled the Belgian Eid official extension (from the government). Disabling this extension seems to make the issue a lot less intrusive. I think there’s are still some freezes but very short ones. The fact that @Legimet has the issue too point toward a problem with the package.
