My Firefox and any forks I use (Waterfox) constantly crashes randomly when I use the browser. Sometimes it does so immediately, other moments it works for a good hour before crashing. Once it does crash, though, it tends to constantly do so a couple of times before working again.
I attempted following the EndeavourOS Firefox Troubleshooting Guide to no avail; considering this issue happens with all versions of the browser (Waterfox, Firefox), I’m starting to wonder whether it’s a system issue. That or Youtube has something to do with it, as it seems to crash whenever I have a Youtube video playing; I doubt this is the case, but you never know.
As for extensions, I have used the same three for at least a year with no issues on both linux and Windows 10 (tampermonkey, ublock origin, image search options); I have removed tampermonkey and replaced ublock origin for testing purposes, though it doesn’t seem have worked.
While running in terminal, all it ever gives me, in terms of errors, is a message about exiting due to channel error
; this repeats about four times.
What log files is needed for troubleshooting?
Edit: Here’s my system log
