Firefox Developer Edition suddenly quits without any information when debugging with Visual Studio

I‘m building a website with Angular and debugging with Visual Studio 2017. I set Firefox Developer Edition as the default browser to browse the site when start debugging. I started debugging, VS launch Firefox to visit the site. It just closed itself when I try to click on some element on the page, then VS stopped debugging because the browser was closed. I tried Edge when debugging, there was no problem like this. I checked the trouble shooting information, it seems like that this was not considered as a crash. Because I don't see any new crash reports when this happens. I tried safe mode, it won't quit immediately sometimes, but after some time it quits suddenly again. This happens almost every time I debug the site. It's annoying that I can hardly debug my project, and I don't want to use other browsers, because Firefox is great.:(
