There was no crash when I started firefox in Safe Mode.
I created a dump file because the crash reporter tool does not open when firefox crashes.

Flags: needinfo?(echonykrom)

Followed these steps - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration

  • I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Options->General->Performance in Safe Mode,
  • Started the browser again in normal mode, no more crashes.

Thank you!!

Can you please enable hardware acceleration again and reproduce the issue on a new profile? If it crashes, restart firefox in Safe Mode and go to about:crahes. If there is any unsubmitted or submitted report (with the date and hour when the crash was reproduced) please also share their links here.
