I'm quite the multi-tasker and use Firefox as a daily driver. However, after updating to 99.0.1, Firefox often starts glitching when I have lots of tabs open. This has become an issue, since I do a lot of my work online and when FF crashes, I lose a lot of unsaved work. Some things I've tried - o) Refreshing The Browser o) Reinstalling o) Tried Troubleshoot mode and clearing startup cache

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
