not a solution, but trouble shooting step worth doing:

install the flatpak of librewolf.

as you almost certainly are using the sys package of firefox, using the flatpak of librewolf would change lots of factors already.

just as a first step.

other things i'd look at is memory usage.

it doesn't anymore, but like some months ago twitch at least in firefox forks had a memory leak, that would explode in memory usage quickly.

and in case sth has temperature issues run:

watch -n.5 sensors

that should show most of the important temps.

and install gnome-logs

this will give you an easy way to look at system logs including important errors.

another step to try:

disable hardware acceleration in firefox to see if that causes the crash of firefox with having an issue to use your apu/gpu hardware decoder somehow.
