Firefox crash multiple times during video playback (Once/Twice not caused by video)
Firefox crashes randomly during video playback. I've submitted over 10 crash reports. Here's the two latest crash report (which includes my device's hardware information): https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/81eb1750-1dd0-490d-9eb1-d3c2c0250224 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6682a7f2-836a-4365-938e-c9ab20250224
I'm on Fedora 41 + gnome, but this issue persisted even in Windows 11, which caused BSOD therefore I made the switch to linux (At least in linux it doesn't crash the whole system, only firefox). If you need any additional information let me know. I can run journalctl/dmesg if required.
I've already tried things like restarting in safe mode (troubleshoot mode), refreshing firefox etc. Didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

X11 or Wayland? Switch it up and see what happens. Graphics card(s) and drivers? Provide a link of a video that goes BOOM for you. Are you running your distro version? What version of ffmpegs are installed? see screenshot Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release I'm not having any issues my distro nor Mozilla version.

Wayland, ran firefox in x11 same problem Intel Arc Graphics @ 2.35 GHz [Integrated] Don't have a specific video url, since it took place so many times Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x86_64 See attached image for ffmpeg version I've downloaded and used firefox from mozilla directly with firefox-bin, but it seems to have no difference with my firefox (version, codec etc) although it haven't crashed (my normal firefox doesn't crash on video playback instantly/everytime, it just crashes randomly so I've yet to find out) Thanks for your reply!
How about trying a live usb stick of your OS or another Linux and see if you have the same issue. If your distro version and Mozilla are both crashing, sounds like a system issue to me. Same crashing under a different user? Can you upgrade or downgrade the graphics driver? What desktop?
I feel like its a potential hardware issue, I'll sort it out and see how it goes
