Mozilla released Firefox 151.01 to address stability issues on Intel Raptor Lake processors.
Update resolves stability issues on affected systems
The update resolves crashes caused by a zlib-rs compression routine failure that triggered index out-of-bounds errors.
These errors stem from suspected hardware bugs in the Intel Raptor Lake architecture, specifically identified as RPL050 and RPL060.
Gabriel Svelto noted that heat waves in the northern hemisphere worsened timing and voltage issues on affected systems.
Mozilla disabled an automated crash reporting bot because it detected a high volume of failures from impacted machines.
The company suspects conditions around the Indian subcontinent may be even more severe due to higher ambient temperatures.
