Hello,
I have two PCs with OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 Linux with different hardware. At the very same time the Firefox browsers stopped completely working on both. By completely I mean one can start them and view pages like "about:support", but any attempt to open a new tab results in a message "Gah! Your tab just crashed!".
It doesn't work in Safe Mode either. There are close to none plugins on one of them, disabling plugins on the other Firefox doesn't help.
It can't be an issue of bad memory or drive or graphic card driver - the two computers are different and it happened at the same time.
It wouldn't even connect to my local router IP address, so it doesn't seem to be some issue with external routing.
I followed advise on Firefox support and downloaded their binaries to test and they are working fine.
It's been about 7-10 days since the issue started. I believe it may be either broken Firefox update or incompatible update of a system component that Firefox is dependent on. It seems that OpenSUSE Leap pushed updates that does not work with my systems, two totally different computers (hardware-wise).

Anyone having similar problems? What do we do about it? Just wait for another updates?
