Yes, I guess there can be some out-of-memory crashes.
You can check the about:memory and about:processes pages for info about all processes. See also the about:unloads page for info about the tabs.
You can find the current multi-process state on the Troubleshooting Information page (about:support).
- "Help -> Troubleshooting Information"
"Application Basics":<be>Multiprocess Windows and Fission Windows
"Remote Processes" (Web Content)
And another my question is, that if this crash https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/signature/?product=Firefox&signature=AsyncShutdownTimeout%20%7C%20Places%20Clients%20shutdown%20%7C%20sanitize.js%3A%20Sanitize%20on%20shutdown&version=108.0.1&date=%3C2023-01-03T04%3A46%3A48%2B00%3A00&date=%3E%3D2022-12-27T04%3A46%3A48%2B00%3A00 can be result of too many extensions?

No i can't start in troubleshoot mode, because it crashes when i close Firefox and i am using version v108.0.1, and the mentioned crash, which i posted in link is in this version.

Go to about:support and press the Verify integrity button in a Places Database section. There should be a log produced, you can paste it here for an analysis.

Here is my crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/628e35ad-dec4-4e47-94ab-71f620230103
It crashed not only one time, but every time when I quit Firefox, and after one minute after I quit, it crash. So I think that maybe my extensions are the reason. By the way, I have installed Firefox-scripts (https://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts), Firefox UI Fix (https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix), and two legacy extensions (Through userChromeJS), and overall 54 extensions (I had 53, but I installed two days ago another), and 3 disabled extensions. It started crashing yesterday, but this post was posted before the crashes started.

You are dude! Your tip helped me, I changed "privacy.clearOnShutdown.history" about:config item and it is fixed, so extensions are not reason.
I will file a bug in Bugzilla about this weird crash.
