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 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/fix-problems/slowness-or-hanging and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quick-fixes-if-your-firefox-slows-down , plus https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding , and report back.
Do you imply this is not a bug?
This worked well until a FF upgrade.
The box has plenty of RAM and CPU so 'resources' of that kind are not the culprit.

Please open about:support, click on "Copy text to clipboard" and paste it here. Thanks!
Yes, I did a downgrade to test if there is indeed a version issue hidden as well.
Please try Firefox 91 and try Firefox with new profile:

Thanks.
Yes we run Wayland as Xorg does not support 4K very well.
We will first run this FF to see if the problem persists.
Then upgrade again to 91.
Then it is still a bug.
When an application cannot keep the settings proper so that the application starts to malfunction after a while...
That is a bug.
I.e.: FF itself should be able to sanitize the configuration/settings/etc.
The addons should have a similar function.

It happens something very similar to me that started on FF 91 with Wayland. @udo do you have webrender enabled?. I think the issue I'm hitting is with webrender on. I've already opened an issue about this here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726357

When I look over about:config I see some (!) webrender items enabled.
Only the failureid's are modified, the rest looks stock.

Can this be fixed by disabling widget.wayland.vsync.enabled on about:config and restarting Firefox?

Thanks, that's a very valuable infomation. If you are willing to test two more things (one at a time), that would be really great:
- Using software rendering (setting
gfx.webrender.softwaretotrue), so we know if it has something to do with hardware acceleration (widget.wayland.vsync.enabledcan be enabled again / set to default). - Using the X11/Xwayland backend by not setting
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND- so we know if it's something Wayland related.

For MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND I need more info on how/where to change.
Please check the performance troubleshooting steps from:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems?rd=Bug_info_Firefox#Firefox_performance_issues
Thanks.

gfx.webrender.software does not make the issue go away.

Can this be fixed by disabling network.dns.force_waiting_https_rr, network.dns.use_https_rr_as_altsvc, network.dns.upgrade_with_https_rr and restarting Firefox?

Could this be the same bug as this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1996542

Also happens when I am not at the keyboard, when FF is active.

Simply play a video stream from e.g. youtube for a while and the issue should appear.
