The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Win32' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is probably due to a bug in a third-party Windows Explorer extension.
There are some plans to open the file dialog in an external process (bug 1677170), which should minimize the impact here. In the meantime, you may want to use other tools to try to narrow down the shell extension that's causing the crash; see, e.g., this SuperUser question.

It doesn't look like the file-picker changes are likely to be backported to ESR 115, which is our last version supporting Win7; and anyway, this is almost certainly due to a third-party shell-extension DLL being injected into Firefox.
Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
