SUMMARY
Since recently machine locks up when using TOR to search the internet for
images when then opening in new tab. I have not found another application or
clearnet Firefox which causes this behavior yet.
Same as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493827
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Wayland Plasma session
2. Start TOR browser
2. Use search engine to search for images of 'trees' (for example).
3. Open a tab or two maybe three of "trees".
4. Intermittent but very likely to freeze up the machine.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma desktop freezes machine hard. Requiring pressing ctrl + alt + SysRq +
REISUB to powercycle.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to consistently use the TOR browser to navigate websites and searches
without locking up machine.
