I find that using one particular website:
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
ALWAYS ends up crashing my LM 20.3 Cinnamon (all updates applied).
THe annoying thing is that during the last years or so, FF will issue an update and the problem
gets solved.
Then another update brings it back, why ?
The problem always ends up with me having to hard close down the PC, restart, run fsck.
FSCK then reports recovering journal and then has to free up a gazillion inodes.
Chromium never has this issue.
Grrr

Re: Firefox and inodes issue ?
Any add-ons / extensions that you've installed in Firefox? Those are the usual suspects....

Re: Firefox and inodes issue ?
Regarding FF:
Open Users & Groups and create a new account for testing. Reboot and log into the new account. How does it behave there?
The detour with a test account is to prevent, that you do not need to touch the FF-profile in your main account. It is most likely, that the FF profile is the culprit.
Regarding restarting a not responding system:
Press and hold the Alt and the Print keys together and than type one after the other: S, U and B with a little break between U and B. The computer will reboot.
No check needed afterwards, nothing to recover.
