Firefox started crashing a few times a day after updating to v91.

Crashed Thread: 5 Socket Thread

Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Application Specific Information: stack buffer overflow


I checked and It looks like crash reports aren't being sent to Mozilla, even though it's enabled in settings. The last one that was sent was in 2019.

When I try to open "Firefox Developer Edition Crash Reporter.app", the crash reporter crashes.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While still in Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode,

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Please, Do not post a screenshot ! !

Try to do a clean reinstall and drag the current application to the Trash.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I started up in safe mode and went to about:crashes. it just says "No crash reports have been submitted."

I can see lots of crash logs in console.app though.
