Fedora 41 Silverblue freezes when watching videos in Firefox

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

Hello,

since a couple of weeks/months (I cannot remember, because it happens so sporadically) from time to time when I watch online videos (like YouTube) with Firefox (132.0.1) my system becomes totally unusable slow.

When it happens I am able to open a terminal and reboot.
I also figured out when running sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_gpu_recover Gnome will restart and my system is usable again. Running kill -3 gnome-shell does not help.

I think (but I am not sure) that the issues started when upgrading from Fedora 39 to 40.

It only happens when watching videos in Firefox. But sometimes it works well for a couple of weeks, and then is appears three days in a row. I suspect it happens more often, when I do a lot of scrubbing.

Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

If you close firefox does it speed up again?
Kernel 6.11.10 and kernel 6.12.x have some AMDGPU fixes that might help.

No, closing Firefox does not fix the issue.

Well, the sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_gpu_recover that you do that recovers sort of indicates that this is an amdgpu problem.
It might be a good idea to report it here and see what amd people say about it.
