Firefox Version 79.0 OS: MacOS Catalina 10.15.6 Crash ID: bp-2f217397-5062-4f92-8cff-5e5770200823

Symptom: After updating Catalina to 10.15.6, Firefox fails to launch, crashes launches crash reporter, then closes. Clicking restart results in same behavior.

I also seem to be unable to launch Firefox with the --safe-mode flags.

Please advise.

I edited the extensions.js to remove the extension named in the crash report then went into the extension/ folder and removed the corresponding .xpi after-which I was able to launch
