Infrequent crash in Firefox #11169

Description

@MarcoZehe

Steps to reproduce:

There are no steps to reproduce. Sometimes, when working in Firefox, NVDA just falls silent, and braille stops outputting something. This is different from the RPC hang @jcsteh and I have been chasing for two years now. This is just NVDA suddenly going away. So there are no exact steps. But this is in the old log.

Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

Yes.

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.

2020.1, same result after some time.

If addons are disabled, is your problem still occuring?

Yes.

Did you try to run the COM registry fixing tool in NVDA menu / tools?

Yes, but since all is working normally until the crash, nothing changed.

Info for @jcsteh , this also happened before the very last COM fix you put into Nightly this week. So it is not a side effect of that. The log suggests rather that something makes NVDA freeze.
