<p dir="auto">After the browser has been open for a few hours (or a couple of days), its behavior starts to change:</p>
<p dir="auto">Tab closing issue:<br />
• I need to click the close (X) button on a tab twice for it to close. Earlier, a single click worked fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">Pop-ups / overlays not appearing:<br />
• Menu pop-ups and overlays stop showing up. For example:<br />
• Clicking on File / Edit menu<br />
• Opening profile or extensions<br />
• The expected dropdowns or overlays do not appear.</p>
<p dir="auto">The only workaround I’ve found is to force quit and restart the browser, after which everything works normally again.</p>
<p dir="auto">This seems to happen consistently after prolonged usage, so it might be related to session time or memory handling.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is anyone else also facing this?</p>
