Please read bug #986027 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986027>. It's the same thing (but for the package Firefox in sid). Here's the sequence of events, tests and results I got so far. 1. When I first experienced this bug I had only *webext-privacy-badger* and *webext-ublock-origin-firefox* installed on this computer 2. Later I installed *webext-keepassxc-browser* (still having the issue after that) 3. I found out about bug #986027 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986027> 4. I removed *webext-privacy-badger* and *webext-ublock-origin-firefox* and installed those extensions directly from Mozilla. I kept *webext-keepassxc-browser* installed 5. Still experiencing the same issue 6. I removed *webext-keepassxc-browser* and installed it directly from Mozilla too (no more webext-* packages installed on my system) 7. The issue never happened again since then (it was a few days ago) I was experiencing the same exact behaviour on a different computer, also running Bullseye with the same extensions, plus a couple more (webext-treestyletab and some other). I removed all webext-* packages and installed all those extensions directly from Mozilla. The issue is gone too on that PC. All this is consistent with what has been reported on bug #986027 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986027>. The problem seems to be related to webext packages and doesn't seem to matter which extension it is... seems to happen with all of them. According to the aforementioned bug this seems to have been fixed upstream on version 95 or later. I wasn't sure if/when that was going to be ported to ESR and included in debian updates, so basically I went for the workaround (removing all webext-* packages and install the extensions directly from Mozilla). So far so good. Best regards, Bruno
