Scenario #3 being repeated even after restart.
Description:
Repeats each time I press play button on this video frame on that specific page. Tab crashes after such actions repeated after restoration of a tab, in a new tab, also in another window.
After some single tab crashes, now any tab with YouTube that's being loaded crashes automatically after a while (DOM loaded as well as video previews, but after some time close to 1-2 sec tab crashes). Issue repeats in safe mode.
Environment details:
- Firefox 73.0 mint 1.0
- Linux Mint 19, Kernel 4.15.0-88, Cinnamon DE
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 (driver version 418.87.00)
- CPU/GPU/RAM/Swap/HDD are looking normal
- /tmp directory is full!
- One day I switched media.rdd-process.enabled option in about:config to false ( don't ask why ;) ). Even if I make it true as default, tabs are still crashing
- Used that version of firefox for some time - worked perfectly. This issue revealed only today on that specific URL
My conjectures:
Conjecture #1: YouTube has broken something today
Conjecture #2: Some time related stuff (date is 28.02.2019 03:00:00 MSK - so by UTC it's 00:00:00 which is strange)
Conjecture #3: This video has a present from Mao with some malicious stuff inside ( still hope my PC won't blow up this morning :P )
Conjecture #4: Temp directory is full and that causes quite heavy YT tabs to crash (maybe, if firefox uses /tmp, idk)
Hope ur debugging gods will be with you. If you need any more info or help on this subject - do not hesitate to contact me.
