Postman authorization crashes LibreWolf (firefox) browser

Logging into postman desktop on windows causes Postman to completely freeze LibreWolf (firefox).

Steps to reproduce:

- press login in postman desktop
- LibreWolf automatically opens a link [https://identity.getpostman.com/accounts?auth\_challenge=744.............&auth\_device=app\_native&auth\_device\_version=11.0.12](https://identity.getpostman.com/accounts?auth_challenge=744.............&auth_device=app_native&auth_device_version=11.0.12)
- After choosing the account on “Continue using Postman with” page the whole browser freezes

**Platform Details** :

- Windows 11 Pro  
build: 22631.3527  
version: 23H2

- Postman for Windows:  
Version 11.0.12  
Architecture x64  
Platform win32 10.0.22631

- LibreWolf  
version: 124.0.1-1

- **Additional Data** :  

**Issues**

- postman manages to permanently freeze the LibreWolf(firefox) browser
- not being able to authorize just using username/password
- default browser opening with no way of preventing it ( copying the link manually into another browser doesn’t work after it has been opened in LibreWolf(firefox))
