[Linux][Flatpak] Firefox 177.0.1 spawns over 1000 threads of Web Content
This happens at random intervals, mostly when firefox is being left idle.
Since it starts >1000 threads, it easily fills ram and swap, then get killed by OOM killer. Hence no crash reports.
I'll upload a gist with OOM details from dmesg and journalctl, if there is a way to get debug info for this, please let me know.

Has details from both dmesg and journalctl, showing the process count.
Also, the OOM killing caused me to logout in some websites.
Maybe it corrupted cookies or corrupted cookies caused this?

How many tabs do you currently have open in Firefox?

At the time of crash, around 10.
My system has 16GB and I was not doing anything resource intensive.
