Sorry, a little OT: This is the third webpage that literally crashed my browser (Firefox) in the last two days. I also noted some strange kind of flashing on other webpages as well. Is Firefox gone south within the last update or it's something unrelated? Does this also happen to any of you?



I disabled WebGL and WebGPU in my primary browser. I simply see a blank page with the words "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (developer guidance)".

You can do the same too. Most webpages don't need fancy graphics. CSS transforms and animations (which can be 3D) are fancy enough for me.


It renders very poorly in Safari on Mac too.


Weirdly it renders fine for me on Safari (M1 Mac). Curious if you're on an Intel machine?


Renders just fine on my Intel MacBook Pro.


Renders surprisingly well on Firefox on Android.


No problems here with Firefox on Windows 11.


Update your GPU drivers?
