With desktop Firefox, (on macOS, Windows, Linux) bugs are filed on Bugzilla and not Github. Github is only used for Firefox for iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Focus for iOS. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/file-bug-report-or-feature-request-mozilla

Your issue may not be a bug but how you have configured your Settings on when Firefox closes. If you still do submit a Bug on Bugzilla.mozilla.org please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html
