This is not necessarily a crash caused by firefox, it could be any
component really.
Can you check in /var/crash whether there are .crash files with a
timestamp that corresponds to when the problem happened?

Title:
Webpage in Firefox crashes computer
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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.
