User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

a. Alt + Tab (switch to another application window)
b. One more Alt + Tab (to come back to firefox window)

Or

a. Alt + ` to jump to another Firefox window itself

This is practically making firefox useless for my daily meetings + share screens and other collab works.

Actual results:

Firefox stops repsonding. Brings up the popup window showing
"Firefox is not responding" [Wait] [ForceQuit]
After 10 to 20 secs, it come back.
If you try to scroll frantically (two finger scrolling on the laptop's touchpad), firefox at this point, it exits.

Expected results:

Firefox should not show any lag or crash. It should be super responsive and scroll fast without any issue or lag.

My current Firefox version: 98.0.2 , but the issue is there for some time.
Was expecting this to be fixed when each time an update comes.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Is this reproducible when starting with a fresh user profile and zero add-ons or extensions activated?

Nope, it fast and responsive when use a a new profile.

Then the problem is not in Firefox itself. Feel free to bring this up in a support forum instead.

Is that some sort of default theme Manjaro uses or so? I'd report upstream, it seems like they're doing a ton of userCSS / user.js hacks: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/Chrysostomus/firefox-gnome-theme-maia/
