[Bug]: The extension exhibits performance degradation, then crashes with the "MetaMask Lavamoat show has crashed." error

[sleepytanya]

Describe the bug

I'm experiencing very similar behavior to what was described here for Firefox #33403. The extension exhibits performance degradation, particularly during quote fetching for swap/bridge txs, and eventually becomes unresponsive. However, instead of simply stopping (as seen in Firefox), the extension crashes with the error "MetaMask Lavamoat show has crashed."

While reloading the extension temporarily resolves the crash, the performance issues persist and the extension continues to experience reduced functionality.

Expected behavior

Cannot reproduce degrading performance in current prod 12.18.3.
Build from here - reproducing errors in the console when sending regular transactions, some performance degradation is also present, couldn't reproduce lavamoat crash:

I have no idea what a lavamoat show is. Could that be a typo?

@naugtur sorry, my bad, the recording was too big to upload. Anyway, it's not a lavamoat issue, according to @Gudahtt

[sleepytanya]

Reproduced the crash again. No errors in the console, the same notification 'lavamoat snow has crashed'. I was in the Solana Bridge, selecting different destination networks, I did not fetched quotes often, mostly switching destination networks.

Hi @micaelae , I see the issue is now assigned to you. Is Extension Platform team still needed or can we relabel the issue with team-swaps-and-bridge?
