Firefox: 93.0 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211030 KDE Plasma: 5.23.2 Qt: 5.15.2

Firefox now freezes almost immediately upon launching.

I have performed all the troubleshooting steps described at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding

I have performed the Refresh procedure and disabled hardware acceleration. I have no themes or add-ons installed.

The freeze is permanent; it doesn't recover. I have to perform a "kill -9" on the firefox process.

When the freeze has occurred, the CPU is not spiked. The "top" command is showing GeckoMain at the top of the list.

I was able to restore Firefox to working order by forcing an upgrade to version 94.0. For whatever reason, something in 93.0 was causing the freeze, which is no longer happening.
