I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04, using Mate Desktop and Compiz compositor. I am using Firefox from the Mozilla Team PPA, currently 150.0.1. I am running custom kernel built from upstream source, currently 6.18.25. Hardware is a home brew CoffeeLake machine, i7-9700k, 64G of RAM, 2TB WD Black SSD and many TB's of spinning rust, graphics is Intel ARC B50 Pro, ASUS XONAR SE 5.1 Channel 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR PCIe Gaming Sound Card. Prior to upgrading Firefox was not 100% occasionally tabs would wedge, now if I get two hours I'm doing good, I've tried disabling extensions and plugins no help. Tried with and without hardware decoding, worse without but bad no matter. Any suggestions how to get stability back?

Hi Robert

I am not sure what you mean by "wedge", but have you tried running the tarball from Mozilla and see if the issue appears?
