I think it may be something in the hardware or firmware, that makes the laptop stability more sensitive to issues. … An application like Firefox, even if it crashes, should NOT bring down the operating system. However after installing Firefox-93.0, I am not getting any crashes/reboots (yet). I can’t believe that Firefox is at fault thou, and I suspect rather that Firefox-78 simply acted as a catalyst to an existing problem.
I have seen some differences in the journal , from when Firefox-78 lead to a crash/reboot, but Firefox-93.0 at the same point, doesn’t crash but the journal gives a warning. But I could be wrong, this could be me on a wild goose chase, so I am reluctant to spam this thread with that info. I could thou - if anyone curious.
Here is my setup at present:
