Firefox crashes
When I try to upload an image to Firefox Developer Edition my browser freezes and doesn't unfreeze until I force it to quit. This has been happening consistently without fail for about 3 weeks and I can't really figure out how anyone else has gotten around this.

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?

I see you are using Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave
This Firefox hangs on various dialog windows (on Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave) has been fixed in Firefox 62.0.3, 60.2.2esr, 63.0b11 (Beta/Dev Ed) and also in a recent Nightly channel build.
Since you are testing a Beta channel build of Firefox 63.0 so do you have the recent 63.0b11 update?
Developers Edition is same as Beta but with developers features.
