If you're using Ubuntu, try to re-install firefox via the mozilla team ppa. I'll link the AskUbuntu thread on how to do that in a little while.

The snap package, ime, has some weird bugs like that. For me the tabs would freeze sometimes and I had to restart the browser.

Another problem is extensions like expressvpn and keypass won't work, probably due to the sandboxing.

Here is the AskUbuntu thread on how to re-install firefox outside of snaps:

I see from another comment that you're using flatpak; though, if you're using Ubuntu it will probably install firefox via snap anyway, or 'update' to the snap version. Good luck.
