Constant crashes since the start of the day

Since the start of the day, Firefox has been constantly crashing constantly. Usually when I try to click / open / load a new tab or page, but sometimes just leaving it open causes a crash. I've tried to reinstall twice, but no luck. Safe Mode also did not help, so I assume it has nothing to do with add-ons. I also did a "Refresh" but, again, nothing. I did a full system scan (BitDefender, if it matters) but it did not detect any malware. Lastly, I restarted the computer and Firefox still constantly crashes.

Here are the crash report logs:

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.
