Thanks. It's interesting that whole system freezes, that's not expected. Can you attach end of log from previous run? (type 'journalctl -b -1 -e' on terminal to get the log).

Also please try upstream binary:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems#Testing_Mozilla_binaries

if you hit the same problem.

Yes i'll try the binary

I have to post that right after the crash or can i post it now? (i've rebooted a few times already)

You need to post that right after the crash. It prints logs from last session.

Also got this trying to get the log

Journal file /var/log/journal/a5723d811e9545c8847b32c63a6ce721/user-1000~ is truncated, ignoring file.

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2022-10-03 21:02:04 UTC
That seems to come from gnome-shell:

03 22:35:02 fedora gnome-shell[2042]: The offending callback was SourceFunc().
03 22:35:02 fedora gnome-shell[2042]: Attempting to run a JS callback during garbage collection. This is most likely caused by destroying a Clutter actor or GTK widget with ::destroy signal connected, or using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked.

Moving to it to get attention of Gnome folks.

Thanks, not sure if there's anything else not logged because the computer freezes before that

Comment 9 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 00:25:10 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 10 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-11-23 00:25:16 UTC
This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/.

This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!

Comment 11 Aoife Moloney 2023-12-05 23:29:26 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on None.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
