I rarely run more than one active youtube tab, but your message prompted me to try, on my amd64 laptop running firefoxe on a recent snapshot, two youtube tabs running, muted, because the cacophony got annoying. Still running some minutes in. The machine isn't brand new (in fact the one featured in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/2021_wild_wild_world_of_windows.html) but still, I am unable to reproduce. That means that more detailed information about the actual environment is needed, and I would encourage you to use sendbug(1) to submit a report with as much detail as possible the next time a crash of the type you describe here happens. I would suspect a driver issue at some level, but that's just my hunch. -- Peter N. M.
