Another data point: The affected FF process has two defunct "Socket Process"es,
the working FF-esr doesn't.

594571 ? Sl 14:00 \_ /usr/bin/firefox.real -ProfileManager
 594630 ?        Z      0:00          |   \_ [Socket Process] <defunct>
 594753 ?        Z      0:00          |   \_ [Socket Process] <defunct>


Probably related, every now and then a tab (any URLs) hangs on loading with a spinning symbol in the tab; copying the URL to another tab doesn't help, unless the hanging tab gets closed, then the new tab loads.

So I guess some thread hangs in the background - and so doesn't return random numbers nor collects the child processes.


I can't make "rr" work to find out why;
"gdb" also has problems, I guess because of the large number of symbols.


Any ideas how to debug this are welcome!
