What extensions are installed and enabled in Firefox?
I think I have none installed. I don't know how to ask Firefox.
Firefox
-> Tools
-> Add-ons and Themes
-> Extensions
-> Enabled
https://www.firefox.com/en-US/features/add-ons/
I use:
Audio Compressor
Decentraleyes
NoScript
Privacy Badger
uBlock Origin
Blocking JavaScript and/or ads can make Firefox run faster and consume
less memory. If you have no add-ons installed, I wonder if the web
page(s) are causing the crashes (?). But before you try that, see my
suggestion, below, regarding reproducing the crash using your mail client.

Please post a reproducible procedure for crashing your computer.
Start KDE 5.27.5 in Debian 12.11 or KDE 6.something on Debian
13.something, using either Wayland or X11 (I tried boith)
Start an XTerm, EVolution, Firefox, NEdit, and Okular.
Push the mouse around, doing click, copy, paste, for a few days. Maybe
it will happen.

If you boot, start Evolution, go through your e-mail messages, and click
on every link, does Firefox open correctly every time or does the
computer freeze? If the latter, how many links does it take to produce
a crash?

I use Firefox on multiple devices, so I use find Firefox browser sync:

Did you try pushing and holding the power button for 10+ seconds? If
not, how did you restart the computer?
