And the problem was also occurring on my other computer, MSI Z790 with

Intel i9-14000K and 64 GB of memory.

It's not a memory problem. I turned off "hardware acceleration" in

Firefox and got a crash later.

I'm usinng Chromium now and (so far) I haven't had any crashes.

Perhaps backup the Firefox bookmarks, uninstall Firefox and purge

configuration files, restart, install Firefox, and restore bookmarks?

How do I do those things?
