Firefox Developer Edition 91.0b9 crashes, crash reporter not working. MacOS 10.15.7.
Firefox started crashing a few times a day after updating to v91.

I checked and It looks like crash reports aren't being sent to Mozilla, even though it's enabled in settings. The last one that was sent was in 2019.
When I try to open "Firefox Developer Edition Crash Reporter.app", the crash reporter crashes.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
While still in Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode,
In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.
The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.
Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Try to do a clean reinstall and drag the current application to the Trash.
You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I started up in safe mode and went to about:crashes. it just says "No crash reports have been submitted."
I can see lots of crash logs in console.app though.
