Firefox sometimes crashes when I'm on kbin.social: happens to anyone else? (kbin.social)

As title suggested.

Has happened to me at least 5-6 times, every time it happens I am logged on to kbin.social and have some other tabs opened at the same time... So I am strongly suspicious that kbin has something to do with it, but I could be wrong.

I've almost never seen Firefox crashing on my OS before. Not sure if it is a bug of some sort.

I have seen this happen on Android when using the PWA with Firefox. If I open it, then switch to other apps, and then come back to it hours later, it immediately crashes. When I open it again, it will work fine, unless I switch away from it without closing it again for a few hours, where it will crash again.

Might be related to your issue, or it might be an issue with how Firefox does PWAs on mobile. I have seen a few other bugs with Firefox PWAs, so I assumed it was a Firefox problem.
