[SOLVED] Plasma problem

The plasma environment freezes, locking up the computer. I have to turn off the power and restart my computer.
The second problem is the automatic exit to the login screen. This happens frequently when using Firefox.
The problem worsened with subsequent updates.
There are no problems when I work on MATE.

Freezes are pretty hard to diagnose. After the reboot you'd have to look in the journal logs from the last boot via e.g. journalctl -ab-1 and check what happened during the time where your box froze.

What does that actually mean? Sounds like something is pretty broken on your box in general ...
You'd also have to look in the journal logs about what happened during that time on your box.

I launched Mageia 8 backup from August 2021.
Firefox 78.13. An error occurred while browsing Youtube. Browser shut down. Plasma environment is working OK.

If Firefox is crashing, it is always recommended to use the Firefox troubleshooting mode to find any issues related to the browser. As it is not clear whats the issue at your system (either browser or plasma or...) this would be the first step. Please have a look at the really good documentation from Mozilla:

You could try to change to a different graphic driver, e.g. the proprietary nvidia one. The crash is tue to OpenGL software acceleration.

You could also try to change webgl.out-of-process to false, as described in e.g. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3642

For Plasma, I have XRender turned on
After restoring the backup and installing the update, it has been working for 2 days Ok. I'll see what's next.
Thanks
---
After the recent Magei-8 updates
4-11-2021 Problems stopped. 15-11-2021 They rarely show up again. Mate is ok :-)
18-11-2021 I disabled the VPN & Proxy plugin in Firefox. The crash problem is gone. testing continues.
27-11-2021 The problem persists. Plasma has tired me already. MATE works stably. It's my favorite environment now.
After installing the drivers suitable for my NVIDIA from the Magei-8 package, the problem stopped.
