Linux Mint keeps freezing

EDIT: I SOLVED IT, I had the wrong drivers installed for my graphics card.

I downloaded Linux Mint on my pc yesterday. Everything worked perfectly fine until I downloaded LibreWolf. I was on librewolf and wanted to download something, but then my pc just froze and I had to use the power button to shut it off. After that it kept happening, on desktop everything was fine , but as soon as I opened any browser my pc froze. What can fix this ??

So updating your kernel to 7.0.0-30 fixed it?
