Dear Mr. Phillip,

Congratulations!

The Firefox "Gah: tab crashed" went away with the same windows and tabs 
(I still had the problems
with OOM killer at that load, but I hope it will be improved with MGLRU 
in 6.1 ...).

I thank the Heavens!

It was really worth it and I feel proud to be a part of the open source 
community and of this speed of
fixing bugs.

Once again I have to apologise, for I failed to regard your great 
contributions to the Linux kernel tree
and treated you as if you didn't know Ubuntu and snaps. My sincere 
apologies. I should have done more
research before posting, but I am very new to bug reporting and alas the 
damage is done :(

Thank you again.

Mirsad

P.S.
My laptop locked up in Wayland soon after finishing the last email which 
didn't happen in the other
builds. The syslog did not reveal much but an OOM kill. I cannot say 
that it is squashfs-related, but
it surely needs more testing.

I will leave it running a couple of days before making a definitive 
conclusion, as I am certain you will
agree.

Thank you
Mirsad
