I'm running Debian/Trixie on an AMD64 system, using the Plasma 5 over

creates a PDF or just has a complicated link. It's annoying.
To visit some pages, I have to use Chromium instead. Earlier today I
had to rename a sessionstore-backups json file because Firefox got
caught in loop where it recognized it had a new tab open but the tab
caused it to crash.
I also have found that at least one site refuses to work with 115.
That's been going on for a while. Again, I have to use Chromium for
that site.
Thanks for the tips guys, but I'm not going to switch to XFCE, I'm
using an old AMD graphics card, it's a desktop machine, and the
problem isn't specific to PDFs - although that seems to be one of the
major triggers.
My system has been upgrading from earlier versions of Debian since
Potato. I've been on Trixie since it became the new testing. This
crashing of Firefox is a new issue - had few problems with Trixie
before that.
I'm beginning to suspect it may be related to my recent introduction
of a Pi-Hole into my network. Could it be a problem for Firefox when
it gets a 0.0.0.0 address returned on a DNS lookup?
Well, I can confirm it's not the Pi-Hole. Took it out of the DNS chain
and Firefox is still crashing frequently. In fact, it's worse today. Now
it crashes when I'm on Facebook and scrolling down using the mouse wheel.
