Hi gmandas, sorry to hear about this problem and thank you for the link.

The crashing thread (front page of the report) shows fbplugin which may be the signature of an old photo uploader plugin. The thing that's odd is, in Firefox 52 and later, only the Flash plugin should run in Firefox. So why is this plugin getting involved?!

Can you check whether you can find and remove "Facebook Plug-in" from your system? Its file name might be fbplugin_1_0_1.plugin and it could be in a hidden folder associated with Firefox, or in a Facebook folder somewhere.
