P.S. I have opened before the update and restart about 30 tabs in my profile and I also have pinned ones.

Never seen anything quite like that, but I don't think it's an app update bug; since Nightly is running (i.e., not crashing) and the window title is correct, I feel confident saying app update did its job and the bug preventing rendering the window is something different. But I have no idea what, unfortunately.
