[Bug 1973618] [NEW] can no longer open new windows after some time

Mon May 16 15:08:48 UTC 2022

Public bug reported:

After some time using firefox, I can no longer open a new window.

=> ps -ef | grep -c firefox
21

=> /snap/bin/firefox

=> ps -ef | grep -c firefox
21

There is no new process created and the window never appears.
I can open new tabs, but when I drag the tab to make it a new window, it is never created.

The only remedy is to restart firefox. Sometimes I need to SIGTERM all
of the zombi processes.
