Firefox seems to be crashing faster... e.g. when running in Gnome, I just tried to get a saved password from it to try the same site in epiphany as you suggest belos, and it was a challenge to get that far before it crashed again. Then I switched to LXDE, here it didn't happen that fast, but after some "casual browsing" on JS heavy sites like Mattermost and Jira/Confluence it also crashed after less then 5 minutes. > > What exact CPU model do you have?

But different than Firefox not the whole application, only the tabs. That was the behaviour on LXDE. When running in Gnome, after a minute the gnome shell seems to restart again (there is some flickering that looks the same as when I do resatrt it intentionally) and then right now in my recent test even the whole gnome session crashed and logged me out. I also installed a recent bunch of updates and had some hope it would improve the situation but It might even be a bit worse today than a week ago... I'm also going to update the machine to testing now and see if that changes anything. (I have a saved state that I can revert to if you need more info!) Please let me know if I can provide any further info about the system, logs etc.
