Firefox hangs with "not responding" message
Since the release of V96.0.2, Firefox has repeatedly crashed at random times, including when first loading pages. It occurs on several websites, including Google search, WashingtonPost.com, and the Firefox support page.
OS: Windows 11 Hardware: Dell XPS 13 9310
I have turned off the automatic acceleration feature per help article suggestion.

It at first seemed like the problem was gone in safe mode, but it is still happening. I tried to retrieve the crash reports, but the response was that "No crash reports have been submitted."
One page that hangs a lot in safe mode is https://games.washingtonpost.com/games/addiction-solitaire

I saw that my last FIrefox software update was 21 January and that is right about the time this problem began to occur.
