Firefox 121 (on MacOS 10.15.6) suddenly will not boot: EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid)
Am suddenly seeing a complete inability to even boot Firefox:

Precursor to this was a couple of Firefox crashes, likely(?) related to insufficient disk space. With this now remediated, am seeing the same CODESIGNING error. Then reinstalled Firefox afresh; same findings.
Have also tried to boot directly into Profile manager, with the same error.
Then disabled all extensions (an experiment?) in the Mozilla/Extensions folder by renaming it. No Joy.
Given above, I cannot now log into Firefox now to examine any aspect of configuration which I might change/disable.
Of great concern would be salvage of the password store and a very large bookmarks collection.
