The two newest reports are about an error on the OS level about STATUS_DISK_FULL. This is about SQLite where walIndexTryHdr is trying to read a memory-mapped page from the Write-Ahead-Log.

Do you still see SQLite temp files (sqlite-shm and sqlite-wal) files in the profile folder after you have closed Firefox ?

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).


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, 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.
