Facebook Messenger crashes whole Laptop on FF

Hi guys, when I open FB messenger and navigate to 1 of the chats whole Windows freezes. I can't even use ctrl+alt+del when that happens, my only option is to power of the device with power button and restart it. I tried disabling all the extensions and also tried incognito mode, but as soon as I open the tab it crashes again.

Issue is not reproducible on Chrome.

I can't get logs or check processes because whole Windows is frozen.

Any suggestions?
