i don't believe its memory issues because my PC has 61.6 GB of 474 GB free, and i never got these crashes before the update, with the same amount of data. dunno what else to add here, let me know if i need to provide something more

Isn't that caused by one of your addons? If you restart into Troubleshoot Mode (from Help menu) or run a new clean profile on the side — is there any change?
i don't think its that either, because again i had no issues before this update i did try troubleshoot mode but i cant tell if it fixed it or not because i have no idea how to reproduce the issue, it happens randomly
It comes from addon interaction, as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678734
It might have been a change in networking or security, or access to various internals, but it still must be a bug in extension code to trigger it, like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1673749
huh, those bugs are also 5 years old, but i wasnt having any issues before october, so im still not sure if it really is addons. how do i figure out which extensions are causing it? going through my about:addons, i havent updated most of them since august/september, but some were recently updated so i'll load firefox without them. do i simply disable the addons or remove them outright?

Well, it doesn't have to be, right, but that's what the signature and logs say. 🤷
I can't tell which addon, or, potentially, an interaction of addons would run into this StreamFilterParent issue, however correlations on all the users experiencing this same crash during the last 7 days is:
(100.0% in signature vs 00.16% overall) moz_crash_reason = MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT(((bool)(__builtin_expect(!!(!NS_FAILED_impl(rv)), 1)))) (87.30% in signature vs 11.62% overall) Addon "uBlock0@raymondhill.net" = true [87.30% vs 22.35% if process_type = content] (47.62% in signature vs 08.82% overall) useragent_locale = de (37.30% in signature vs 00.08% overall) Addon "ai-channel-blocker@aiblock.extension" = true (30.95% in signature vs 02.05% overall) Addon "adblockultimate@adblockultimate.net" = true (26.98% in signature vs 01.71% overall) Addon "adguardadblocker@adguard.com" = true (24.60% in signature vs 01.53% overall) Addon "sponsorBlocker@ajay.app" = true (16.67% in signature vs 00.13% overall) Addon "sponsorBlocker@ajay.app" = true ∧ Addon "adguardadblocker@adguard.com" = true
so that's the data. Something with these addons, or the combination of the addons, and something about something German (don't ask;D)
