Can Firefox automatically start new session after crash, without user input?

Is there any to make Firefox automatically restart a new session (loading the start page) after a crash, without any prompts?

Context: This is for a disabled person who cannot use input devices: I start her computer every morning before going to work and load a long Youtube playlist of videos, so she doesn't have to do anything. But if Firefox crashes 5 minutes after I left, she cannot restart anything herself and has to wait until I come back.

Any ideas?

In the end, I think I'll use a third party utility: https://www.raymond.cc/blog/keep-application-running-by-automatically-rerun-when-closed/2/ Cheers
