I get full OS freezes periodically and it's the only thing keeping me from switching, really. It usually unfreezes after anywhere between 10-60 seconds. But mouse won't move or anything during the freeze.
It's on Windows 10, Nvidia GPU. Have tried the bucket list of things to solve this without any solution so far. It happens even with just two or three tabs open.
I believe it boils down to this unsolved bug, at least in my situation. I do need to profile it myself if I want to know for sure though:

It only happens with Firefox, nothing else. All other games, programs, browsers, etc run without issue. Firefox is the only commonality that causes the freezes. If there are no Firefox processes open, the freeze does not occur.
Oddly, I see you're on macOS, where I also used Firefox- but I never had an issue there. Interesting, because it seems my experience is the reverse of that of most Firefox users.
- dblohm7 7y agoDo you need accessibility services? If not, I would suggest that you disable it in about:preferences.
- kup0 7y agoInteresting. Is it known to cause this issue- have any more info on it? I don't use it so I will disable
- dblohm7 7y agoI am the developer who ported Gecko a11y to multiprocess on Windows. Some third-party software unnecessarily tries to use the Windows a11y API to do stuff with other programs, but in Firefox that may incur a performance penalty depending on what the third-party code is doing.
