In various Wd jobs in CI we can see that Firefox crashes during startup - as it looks like due to some exception:

Not sure if the above information is helpful enough. Currently we cannot provide a crash dump and analysis because geckodriver cannot handle it yet (but will soon). If that's needed we would need bug 1433495 fixed first.

Generally I can say that the crash happens between the toplevel-window-ready and marionette-startup-requested notifications.

As it looks like this is mostly happen on the esr91 branch.
