I've tried using another web browser (vivaldi, as it was available in the stable repo) and it didn't crash when joining the jitsi.

When trying to restore budgie-panel to default got this:

There is a current issue with middle-click scrolling in Firefox on Budgie and it crashing to the login screen, but in your forum post you said you didn't click anything (?), so I guess it's a separate issue from that

I can reproduce the authenticator crash on GNOME.

Yeah, also I don't have Firefox's autoscrolling feature enabled.

[Staudey]

Okay, I have a fix for the authenticator issue (work in progress), but the firefox one is something else most likely.

Can confirm the firefox issue here, and it seems to affect downstream forks such as Floorp as well.

Please open a separate bug report for the authenticator issue. This will help us cleanly track and fix both issues. Thanks.

Done and I edited this one to only be about firefox-jitsi one.
