Firefox crashes on open - macOS Catalina Beta

I am running macOS Catalina Beta and on the latest update, Firefox refuses to open. Every time I attempt to open the window comes up but as soon as I click on it or try to interact with it in any way, it crashes. I tried fully deleting Firefox, as well as deleting the profiles as well, with no luck. I know this may be an issue with the macOS not Firefox, but wanted to see if there were any suggestions you may have. This happens with all versions of Firefox (Beta, Developer Edition, etc).

Below is my crash info:
