Firefox exits suddenly after couple minutes running on Win10 update 1903

more options

After forced update to Windows 10 update 1903 Firefox does not run beyond 2 minutes. Firefox suddenly exits after about 3 minutes of running - regardless of what site I visit. Even exits if the browser has only 1 tab open to blank page. I can reproduce this problem every time I start firefox - even in Safe mode. Firefox always runs for around 3 minutes. Irrespective of what other application runs/or not. I don't see any crash reports too - when this happens. Last crash report I have was from before I noticed this problem. I have tried following and still see the issue (on Firefox 72 and now on 73 too. 64bit)

- disable all extensions
- restore to default theme
- run in safe mode
- refresh firefox
- uninstall and do a fresh install from scratch.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I could not even run Firefox long enough to post this message. Posting via Vivaldi browser.

Thanks! I no longer see the issue. However, I had to install update, refresh firefox, disable hardware acceleration and start adding add-ons one by one. So far I have ublock origin, multi-account containers. I haven't installed NoScript, Firefox dark theme, HTTPS everywhere extensions yet. But so far so good.

I forgot to mention, I tried running Firefox without hardware acceleration too, in vain.
