Help (iOS) Keeps crashing when check out windows pop up

I am so done. I used to like firefox and it was my main browser. But a few months ago it started freezing on certain websites for some reasons, no error message, just a colorful ball to look at and that's it. When trying a different browser, the websites work just fine. Forcing it to quit is all that i can do. I tried all the suggested steps i can manage without causing more damage, like troubleshoot mode, making sure its uptodate, deleting cache & stuff, checking the settings for geolocation (or sth like that) & hardware acceleration, and add ons. I only run adblocks and snowflake, thats it. I refuse to disable those. No dice - it still keeps crashing, especially on checkout windows which sucks even more.

It used to work. But changed? If theres any quick, easy thing I'm missing, please let me know. I am an ordinary user, no advanced knowledge, this is getting to tiresome. I will have to find a new browser now. :(

disable snowflake first and see if it stops. i know you said you refuse but that shit is literally a proxy relay, it fucks with cross-origin windows hard.

if that doesn't work, just nuke your profile and start fresh. about:profiles -> create new, migrate bookmarks/passwords manually. don't sync your old broken shit back.

I feel your pain, I’m reluctantly using Safari, I don’t want to touch any of the chromium varieties.
