Just another data point: (Might be related, might not...) I'm seeing something similar with 4.19.1, though it doesn't completely crash it just casues all GUI operations (even just switching windows) to become *really* sluggish until I reboot the machine. At that point firefox gets so slow that it's basically unusable -- this might be experienced as it having hung on a slower machine. I am able to quit it with regular Ctrl+Q though. Downgrading to 4.18.19 seems to fix it for me. (Running KDE on a Radeon GPU.) Regards,
