My current instability isn't crashes but with firefox is that it will just randomly "lock up". It will still respond to a click, but will take 10's to 20's seconds to respond. I have to kill and restart firefox to get it working again, but on startup it will usually take on the order of a minute or two to start actually working. Also, more sites just don't care about having their stuff work in firefox. I use chromium for roll20, because there is just a lot of things that are just broken on firefox.

> I use chromium for roll20, because there is just a lot of things that are just broken on firefox. Same here. I will pay for an alternative to Roll20 that works on FF. Bonus points for open source with a hosted version.

  https://foundryvtt.com/ https://foundryvtt.com/ might fit the bill. Disclaimer: I've basically never used roll20 because it's way too heavyweight for my games; I use Owlbear Rodeo instead. But I have tech-savvy DM friends who use and like Foundry

    Both of those look quite interesting for my usecases (In person/occasional hybrid games with a vtt/online only - depends on my groups current location and schedule) Thanks for the pointers!

    I use Foundry VTT regularly (and develop a plugin for it). While I've never had functionality problems with Firefox, in practice, it's the main thing I keep a Chromium install around for, since on heavy scenes even Chromium barely holds up the frame rate on my laptop, and Firefox is notably worse. This is running on integrated graphics though, it's possible Firefox is fine with a more gaming-friendly setup.

I see the exact same thing. It’s frustrating because CPU, disk, memory usage, etc are all super low. The machine is idle and there I sit waiting for the first web page to load.
