I seem to be running across an increasing number of buttons that simply don't register clicks in Firefox. It's probably not FF's fault -- my money would be on webdevs leaning on chrome-only features -- but it does bring my Firefox session to a screeching halt and sends me back to chrome, usually after filling a form and trying to hit submit. It happens about once a week.

That's probably way too vague to be helpful unless someone else knows what I'm talking about, but if nobody does, I suppose knowing that could help motivate me to isolate and reproduce the issue next time it happens.

A lot of the time that it happens to me, and I've bothered to check, it's always been some react code that's had errors.
Strangely my routers web admin will not load at all on firefox. Checking the console shows there is a js error about an undefined variable. Really wonder how they managed to stuff up the page that bad.
It could be the different extensions you have installed. Often this happens with adblockers, so if you use incognito mode or another browser it would fix it.
