It seems to crash if it is opened after the system has been running for awhile. I tried nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 but it didn't help. - Grant

Anything else I could try?Launch firefox with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 -- that should avoid using nouveau for any sort of 3d. Is this a new thing, or has it always been the case? If it's new, any idea what changed?
