Firefox ARM64 Windows freezes at random

Hello

I am using Firefox for ARM64 Windows and noticed that the browser will lock up at random (roughly every half an hour, and usually after trying to navigate to a new page). As the browser doesn't actually crash, just freezes, I have no crash reports to submit.

I am using a Windows Devkit for ARM.

As a developer myself, my instinct tells me this could be an issue with Firefox's JIT for Arm64 platforms but I have no proof.

Chosen solution

It's better to file an issue on bugzilla.mozilla.org and attach it there.

Devs can ask you to use a profiler (https://profiler.firefox.com/).

EDIT: Immediately after I closed this the issue happened again. It always seems to occur when navigating to/from another page. I made a process dump this time if that's useful, but it's nearly 1GB so I can't upload here.

I created a minidump here https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aj8fFRW146FFicV54MVi7H0MjuSzfw?e=T2CLxs

As there are multiple firefox processes, it's possible this dump is for the wrong one
