Multiple Windows Memory Deal Breaker
FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.
google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

And the crash signatures you're seeing are from what code path? (Expecting you've ruled out any addons by running in Troubleshoot Mode first etc.)
- Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A list of Submitted (and Unsubmitted, if any) Crash Reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
- Copy the 5 most recent Submitted Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)
More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
Thank you for your prompt reply.

These are not uploaded yet — please follow the guide earlier to get them submitted, and once they expose the correct bp–… pattern, share that one. Thanks.

Aaah, that's broken pipe from the X11/Wayland display system — Firefox just gets terminated by its closing the connection. Sorry, you might need to look into your windowing system, or video drivers etc. — we don't even see the reason.
You might see something in journalctl around the time of the crash.
If you have widget.wayland.fractional-scale.enabled preference true, you can try setting it false to see if there's any difference.
