Firefox Crashes Every Time I Open It to Login to Firefox Account

I have a Raspberry Pi 400, and I am using two SD cards to hold Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS. I want to use Firefox on both, so I figured it would benefit me to sync my data between them.

On Ubuntu, I am logged in and it works fine.

On Raspberry Pi OS, I go to settings > sync > sign in and it redirects to Mozilla sign in. I entered my email and password, then it crashed. I opened it again, it restores my session. In one second it crashes again. This happens every time.

I do not know the Firefox version, and I installed it from Pi-Apps.

Just ran Raspberry Pi Configuration and increased the GPU memory. Now Firefox stays open as long as I do not run another web browser. I guess this is the fix.

If crashes are preventing you from starting Firefox, even in Firefox Troubleshoot Mode, a clean installation of the latest version of Firefox may fix the problem.

I uninstalled from Pi-Apps and reinstalled. It removes the Firefox package but none of the data (e.g. cookies, history, etc.). This time it loaded with all of my bookmarks, so it was synced, but then it crashed again. Still crashes every time.
