### Qubes OS release
4.1.1
### Brief summary
While using Firefox on the… Fedora 35 and 36 XFCE templates, sometimes the window content freezes. However, the window _title_ still changes when clicking on different tabs, and when switching between windows, the window content is updated as well. Closing and opening Firefox again solves the problem for the moment.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open Firefox
2. Surf the web, scrolling, clicking and sometimes selecting text with the mouse pointer
3. Wait for Firefox to freeze.
### Expected behavior
The window content should update immediately, while interacting with the application.
### Actual behavior
The window content is only updated after switching to a different window (Alt-Tab), and then switching back to Firefox. This way it is impossible to fluently interact with the application.
Example:
1. Click on an existing open tab. The window title changes to the title of that tab's website, but otherwise nothing happens
2. Hit Alt-Tab twice
3. Firefox now shows the open tab, but it is still not possible to interact with the site
### Solutions I have tried
Closing Firefox and opening it again solves the problem, until it freezes the next time.
