Firefox unusable overnight

more options

hello! Firefox began timing out and needed to be force quit starting yesterday; I didn't think anything of it until I reopened and Firefox continued to be unusable. It's not frozen or unresponsive, but it won't load pages or complete actions. I can interact with the browser and settings, etc, access about:crashes, but I can't actually submit crash reports; it just loads endlessly. When I close the program, it won't complete that action either; the app remains running in the background until I force quit.

Things I've tried:

Restarting the computer Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox Clearing the cache

Other browsers work fine, as does the rest of my machine and internet. I'm submitting this using Safari because I can't navigate here using Firefox, but would really prefer to get back to my browser of choice.

Attached are the IDs of a few of the crashes I've had; they remain unsubmitted, sorry, because (as outlined above) I'm not able to complete the action when submitting them.

Oh will share that this problem also continues to happen when I start Firefox in troubleshooting mode.
