It's https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1955112
Helps if you do D&D operation over tab bar.

In there case both tab bar and address bar hang
In my case only the address bar hangs. Tab bar is ok.
It seems that I shall wait for the next firefox release.

I think I'm seeing the same thing with:
firefox-138.0.3-1.fc42.x86_64

kinfo
Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.7-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

The search tool and address bar becomes unresponsive, like I can't right mouse click on the search bar and select "clear search history" or click on the search bar to type in a string to search. But I can press Tab into the search bar, of course being tedious depending on the rendered page's size
