That is weird.
Hardware: Surface Go 2 (which has only one USB port, hence hub)
Browser: Firefox, true for multiple versions over the last year
Distro: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Kernel: 5.12.14-surface, with Surface specific hardware mods
X11 configured to use Icewm instead of whatever Ubuntu has as default
Hub is "uni" branded USB-C to 4 x USB3 A ports; IDs as "Generic":
I would suspect the hub. Friend came over a few weeks back because his Pi wouldn't read a a USB SSD.
Read mine fine. Went back and changed hubs and it worked. My conclusion was that there are a lot of cheap hubs out there.
Is the hub separately powered?
When Firefox is playing videos the power consumption will increase. I(t may be that if the hub isn't powered, the computers power supply simply cannot cope...
