Title:
  Webpage in Firefox crashes computer

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I could not reproduce this today, but the web page at
  https://celebratingsweets.com/big-chewy-ginger-molasses-cookies/
  crashed my computer.  This website has every advertisement, popup, and video 
known to man on it.

  I had a monitor connected to my laptop by an HDMI cable, and I had the
  Firefox browser (I have the latest version 104.0.2, 64-bit) open in
  the laptop screen to this web page.

  This was the only window I had open (the only other [user] program
  running was wallch, which rotates the desktop background image), when
  the screen went blank after a period of inactivity, and the screen
  wouldn't redraw when I moved my finger on the laptop touchpad or
  pressed the space bar to wake it up. It just stayed black, ctl-alt-del
  was not recognized, nor were any keys, and the only thing I could
  figure out to get it back was to press the power button until the
  computer shut off.  Then reboot.  This happened twice.  The touchpad
  was hot, like something was overheating inside the laptop.  This
  laptop was built by System76 and is some sort of generic Lenovo under
  the hood.

  No web site has ever crashed my computer before.  I have Ubuntu,
  upgraded from version 20 to 22.04.1 LTS three weeks ago, and upgraded
  from DSL to fiber Internet two weeks ago.  Maybe one of these is
  causing the problem.  I'll try to also report it to the other
  components' producers.
