Firefox causes my pinebook to completely freeze[how to troubleshoot]

[jcarty]

Well, this will sound odd, but what is in your /etc/nsswitch.conf?

Firefox makes evident a configuration error that no other application that I know of will.

Sorry for the late reply. The file seems quite unremarkable. Content is below, I don't think any of it is particularly identifying.

Code:

# Name Service Switch configuration file.
# See nsswitch.conf(5) for details.

passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd
shadow: files

publickey: files

hosts: files mymachines myhostname resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
