User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

I opened Firefox with a few tabs.
Wait for it to cool down a bit.
Opened Chrommium.

Actual results:

Cooler started spinning so I checked the processes.
Firefox WebContent processes were at around 8-10% and I could not see the web pages but only the spinner when I changed tabs.

Expected results:

Firefox should not be affected by other programs.

I had a crash report when recording infor in this bug https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/a28f231e-0b09-4ecf-a1d0-b482b0190527

This is nasty. It seems to happen also for Signal which is an Electron app. Electron apps are super popular. Most people have one installed.

I believe this is bug 1495900.
