Browser suddenly crashing when opening Slack

I've used Slack every day for the past decade, and Firefox has been my primary browser for some time now. I've never had an issue with the two, but now, Firefox is reliably crashing every time I attempt to open Slack.

I've tried clearing my cache both broadly and specific to Slack, with neither producing results. Even tried deleting all cookies on Firefox, which was a bit of a pain, and it was no help.

I did read up on some people encountering a similar issue that could be fixed by deleting the Slack entry in "about:serviceworkers," but this did not help here.

The only extension I'm running is uBlock Origin, which I've been running for probably as long as I've been using Firefox, and that has never presented an issue before either.

Would appreciate any help or advice on the matter.

Hi,

Your crash reports would really help. Could you please give us a couple of IDs?

Just go to about:crashes, submit recent unsubmitted reports (if you haven't already), reload the page, then copy the Report IDs for submitted crash reports (they start with bp-) and post them here.
