Firefox crashes on start-up
I booted into safe mode of Firefox and disabled all the extensions. I couldn't even boot the app, but now I can boot without being in safe mode, but if I close a tab, it crashes immediately. Or if I quit the app - it crashes.

Chosen solution
Thanks for the help. Anyone who searches and finds this problem, the solution is to do this command in Terminal:
codesign --deep --remove-signature /Applications/Firefox.app
The bug looks like it's tied to using csrutil. I used it to successfully install PlayCover so that I could log on to Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes through my Apple account on my Mac M1.

Your comment gave me an idea. Removing the signature from Firefox.app using codesign --deep --remove-signature /Applications/Firefox.app fixes the crashes. So it must be some collision with some of the entitlements that Firefox uses.

Yes, thank you. That’s where I found the answer, but I wanted to make sure it was posted here too so other people don’t have to waste as much time as I did.
