Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04.02, I will have multiple tabs open and go to click on another tab. I am using an NVIDIA graphics card, with the most recent drivers. (v525) I have experienced this issue using a 1050ti, and as well with a 3060ti. I have experienced this issue on multiple machines, one using a Ryzen 5 3600x, and another with an Intel I7 10700K. This has been going on for a few months now. I am unable to consistently reproduce the bug, it just seems to happen. I will encounter this bug multiple times a day.

Actual results:

On occasion, the Firefox UI will lock up. When I click the other tab it does not open up the other tab. If I drag down on the window to shrink it, sometimes it will update and switch to the other tab, but the UI will remain locked. I can still interact with whatever website I am on, however the only way to recover Firefox is to kill it entirely and start fresh.

Occasionally, I am able to drag a locked tab to another window of firefox and recover my browsing that way, but other times I am unable to drag the tab out of the window.

I should clarify: I have encountered this issue on a fresh installation of Linux. I have not experienced issues like this w/ other programs or web browsers. The only commonality between the two machines I experienced this on that comes to mind is that I am using uBlock origin and the old Reddit redirect extensions.

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