Hello, recently I installed openSUSE on a Gigabyte G5 MF laptop, but every time I try to use the browser, it seems to "crash" my Plasma session randomly (I'm forcibly logged out so I have to log back in), it may also hang up the entire system instead, so I have to turn off and on the laptop.
I've tried both GTK2 and GTK3 builds with all dependencies installed (had to find them by running palemoon on the terminal), but both cause the same problem, even on a clean profile. And yeah, only happens with Pale Moon.
In one attempt I also managed to install FEBE since I've been trying to restore my profile or even just individual things like extensions, but the random crashing keeps happening.
Operating system: openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.5, X11 session
Browser version: 33.9.1
32-bit or 64-bit browser?: 64
Problem URL: None
Browser theme (if not default): Default
Installed add-ons: None
Installed plugins: (about:plugins): None
Unfortunately, I have no idea what other info to share, other than maybe a log or two if I can pull any out and share them here? Or how I can try to figure out if this is specifically caused by Pale Moon or something else, but I don't know how to do it, so any help or at least instructions to share more details would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Random user session "crash" on openSUSE?
Since you are on X, see if you can find a file called Xorg.log (or similar, like Xorg.0.log) somewhere and share it here.
It doesn't necessarily contain the solution, but it's better than going blind.
