Firefox continually crashes in Sierra
Upgraded to OS X Sierra. Started Firefox and it crashed about 30 seconds after starting. Tried to restart it. Same thing. Problem continues every time I try to start it. Tried starting it in Safe Mode. Same thing. Tried refreshing it. Same thing. Uninstalled and did a clean install. Same issue. Followed every procedure I could find and nothing seems to work. Kind of wondering what's going on and how I can fix it so I can ditch Safari (useless POS browser)
Not very technical btw.
Thoughts?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

I noticed a problem trying to do it the harder way though. Under /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/ there is no folder for Firefox or Mozilla. Even showing hidden files reveals nothing.
When I look under /User/<username>/Library/ there is also no folder for Firefox and the one for Mozilla only contains a single file: Global.regs.
I tried to do a clean install again and no new files were added in those folders. Just for posterity and to cover all of my bases, I also downloaded and installed the beta version of Firefox 50.0b11. That also didn't work. Going back to 49.0.02 didn't work either.
Product Firefox Release Channel release Version 49.0.2 Build ID 20161019084923 OS OS X 10.12 OS Version 10.12.1 16B2657

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
Started it in safe mode. Same issue.

Those crashes are the same. I called for more help.
So, uh....any progress or do I just never use Firefox again?
I'll call again.
Sorry I am not a Mac user. I have however often seen crashes related to font issues with Macs.
Maybe these will help
