I opened up around 50 tabs in a single firefox Private Window on Linux and all was good and fast, I then opened another URL in a new tab, which asked me to Stop or Wait for unresponsive script running, where I chose to Stop. Then it started behaving abnormally; I was only able to do the following:
1 scroll on the tab using either middle mouse button or [Up] [Down] key on keyboard jfie
2 right click the tab content to open up right-click menu,
3 hover over the icons and change their background color like Homepage, Refresh, Page Actions, Show sidebars, as well as display their lables;
but I was not able to
$ trigger the proper response from above buttons, or
$ switch to another tab
$ close or create any tab
I noticed in journalctl logs around the time frame this happend, which showed the following:
<date> <hour>:<minute>:30 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ")

NOTE that I did not open any gedit intentionally during that time window.
So far, I have not closed the unresponsive window, in hope that I would be able to restore those tabs. But I am not sure where to start. The $HOME/.mozilla/firefox director is about 100MB.
Could anyone help? I am willing to provide any more information and I am willing to invest my time on this.
