Firefox UI freeze

With recent releases, I've started noticing that Firefox UI freezes seemingly randomly. When it does, the UI doesn't respond to interactions, and there's no visible change in the UI, either - for example, if I switch to a different tab after the UI froze, there's no visual sign of switch happening. However, if I were to alt-tab to another window, then then UI looks as if it had responded behind the scenes. I.e., the tab switch were somehow kept pending until at the point of alt-tab.

I've had this happened on two different machines, both running the latest version (106.0.1), but this was observed even with 105, I think.

FWIW, I'm on Linux; I've tried both with and without hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, I don't have consistent/sure reproducer; not have I observed any particular pattern of interaction that'd lead to this.

I was going to file a bug, but thought posting here before I do that.

There's a patch release for this similar-sounding bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1793748. I'll see if I get more freezes with this fix in.

I started seeing the freezing back in 102, but lately it's consistently happening more in Windows for me. Not seeing the issue in Nightly. Sometimes I just switch to Nightly or Dev and watch the clock to see how long before it comes back to life. It usually comes back around 4mins.
