I see this often with the firefox memory leak and containerizing it wouldn’t resolve the issue, as it’s literally freezing due to running out of system memory. Try to make a distinction between a frozen app and a systemwide exhaustion of resources.

Any idea on what caused the spike? I used Zorin years and years ago and while nifty, didn’t have anything that met a particular need that wasn’t already satisfied by other distros. I checked their site and it looks like nothing drastic has changed.
Perhaps some popular influencer or advertisement type thing?

Waiting an unknown amount of time to be able to use your computer again is not viable.
I’ve dealt with this issue across distros and flavors for years and simply accept that using Firefox on Linux the way I use it requires a regular reboot.
