Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0

Steps to reproduce:

I may have multiple windows open, each with multiple tabs.

When I reposition a tab or move a tab to another window or new window, eventually after some time [not immediately] I cannot open a new tab/window.

Existing tabs in existing windows become non responsive. I can scoll up and down but browser not responsive to typing/mouse. New tabs/windows never complete rendering.

My work around is to kill Firefox w/ task manager, restart firefox and restore windows/tabs.

This has been happening thru several recent versions of firefox. Happens w/ Windows 10/11.

PS: Currently I'm using portable version of Firefox from portableapps.com

I could not reproduce issue on Win10x64 using FF build 103.0.
Does the issue still reproduces for you using latest build (https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/106.0-candidates/build1/ )?
Does the problem still happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? (Safe Mode disables add-ons, extensions and themes, hardware acceleration and some JavaScript stuff in order to exclude some possible reasons for problems.) See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode . Thank you.
