Gnome crashes when watching videos in browser

Gnome crashes recently when i watch videos on steam in Firefox. Monitor freezes, no input from mouse or keyboard possible. Access only over ssh to reboot the system.

Kernel: 5.18.3
Gnome: 42.2

I can reproduce this on different hardware (AMD/Intel) as well.
For me easy to reproduce on this site: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest
Watch one or two videos from the demos, then go back to the fest site an scroll --> freeze.

Also make sure you're not (still) affected by https://archlinux.org/news/undone-repla … replumber/

Yeah it seems like the same behavior.

Did you check the wireplumber situation, though?

Sorry i forgot to mention. This makes no difference, with wireplumber or without, in both cases the crash occurs.
