The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Please attach your about:support page.
Thanks.
I was not able to get it to happen in software mode again after the first (not sure if something else had been enabled - maybe a test? - that got disabled after.
Attached is my current about:support. I was able to stop the crashes by setting widget.wayland.vsync.enabled = false.
It seems to happen less often when scaling is lower. I lowered the screen scaling from 120% to 110% and it has yet to crash. I'm also seeing a lot fewer ###!!! [Parent][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost console messages.
Looks like it may be a driver issue. I installed the latest intel-media-va-driver 21.2.2 (vs the 21.1.1 that comes with Ubuntu 21.04) and so far there has been no crashes (even with widget.wayland.vsync.enabled set to true). I have a Tiger Lake GPU so I assume that the newer driver has better support for the newer hardware.
Prior to installing the latest driver version I noticed that the 21.1.1 non-free Intel driver is more stable than the 21.1.1 free driver.
There are still odd few-second freeze-ups when doing certain things like opening bookmark folders in the bar or hovering over tabs (prior to the tooltip displaying)... but that may be a separate issue (it is largely what happens prior to the crashes happening).

Okay, let's close this one then.
There are still odd few-second freeze-ups when doing certain things like opening bookmark folders in the bar or hovering over tabs (prior to the tooltip displaying)... but that may be a separate issue (it is largely what happens prior to the crashes happening).
Please try to get profile data (see https://profiler.firefox.com/) i.e. run profiler when Firefox freezes and file a new bug for it and attach the profile data there.
Thanks.

Please file a new bug for, run firefox with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 and attach the log there. It may be Sway specific one.
Thanks.
