Firefox crashes when I right click

Pretty self explanatory.
I'm on wayland, (although im assuming firefox runs under xwayland) using hyprland, intel dedicated graphics on some 2014 retina macbook
firefox works as normal until it crashes for some reason when you rightclick, or wait a bit.
running it in the terminal says nothing, and the only way to close it is by terminating.

What do you actually mean by "crash", 'cause

Pretty self explanatory.

so when i ran the coredump thing nothing happened, and i guess it doesnt "crash"

It freezes, completly, doesn't react to anything.

How do you close it then?
(All default mechanisms will use SIGTERM that the process needs to handle)

Check and flip this around

Also test the behavior on not-hyprland (eg. weston will do - or openbox on actual X11)

Right clicking will open a (modal) context menu - chances are that this blocks input to firefox but you can't see it for bugs specific to your compositor or even more likely: your configuration of it.
Did you maybe copy+paste someone elses dotfiles?
