I can't find any crash report. It is seems that it is not crashing it is just stop working or very slow.

I have 16 gb ram and ryzen 5700g so maybe its not an hardware issue.

Install the Media Feature Pack if applicable. Also install "VP9 Video Extensions" and "AV1 Video Extension" from the Microsoft Store then reboot.

Did you try disabling hardware acceleration?

Hi again :)

I can't find the add feature steps in the media feature pack. I did install the AV1 too since the vp9 is already installed.

After disabling the hardware acceleration it still doesn't work but The Main Window shows a new error its the [The "Messenger Call" is slowing down firefox]. attached a screenshot below
