Among the Firefox Wayland bugs, one of the top crash bugs is over a lost connection to a Wayland compositor. For dealing with it is to have a proxy between Firefox and the Wayland compositor to cache messages and prevent compositor message queue overflows.

    You’re describing Wayland running into issues due to overall high system load, and not been given enough scheduler time to accept messages?

    edit: This issue? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/159 - didn’t find anything else matching the description, and personally have never seen that, both on my low specs notebook or my workstation, which probably counts as higher spec.

      correct, this is the same issue, this generally really only happens with a sustained all core workload that will consistently leave you cpu at 100%, since if it’s not sustained, the kernel will allot some time to the programs, and the crash wont happen

        I guess that explains why I’m not seeing it - my workstation has 64 threads and more than enough memory, and on my notebook I’m scheduling load intensive stuff to not interfere with interactive device usage.
