Have you tried Safe mode or things like that? You can get more information on the following page: Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly).

Sorry if you have done all that already but sometimes it is worth a try.

Actually there are no Firefox crash reports created for this issue.

Instead it appears .Net Framework 4.8 which was recently updated is causing the problem (i.e. removed it, and the crashing problem went away).

And apparently the Framework does not want to play nice with Adobe Flash.

Still researching the issue. Appreciate your tips as they helped to narrow down my problem.

Thanks.
