Firefox keep crashing
Hi for a while now, few months Firefox crash like crazy on my PC
Sometimes it would just crash at start, and refused to open Sometimes tab start crashing, and eventually firefox crashes
Common sites where i see the crash happens are cnn.com and nba.com
I usually restart my PC , refresh firefox or reinstall it to get rid of the crashes but this is very tiring , very tiring
I am sure its something on my PC that causing the conflict, because even reinstalling doesnt entirely fix it
But i have no clue what it could be

I suggest you use the new profile as it works without problems.
Do you need anything from the old profile?
When you are ready, we can start moving parts of your old data and Copy it to the new profile.
First; open your file browser to the New profile;
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder
Linux: Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Directory. To its right press the button Open Directory.
Second, open another file browser to the Old profile. You should see it on the directory "tree" in the first file browser. Right-click on that folder and select Open In New Window.
Warning ! ! Only Copy the files you are told. We will avoid anything that might cause problems. Here is the list of files;
cookies: cookies.sqlite Do not bother. Cookies will be created when you return to the website. However, you will have to log in everywhere. And you may lose any settings that websites store on your computer.
extensions(add-ons, themes): it would be better to download them fresh. If you need to remember what add-ons you had, open the extensions sub-folder and look at the .xpi files
logins.json and key3.db [v58+]key4.db : These are the password files. Copy Both !
persdict.dat : custom dictionary - words you added to the dictionary
mimeTypes.rdf [v55+]handlers.json : What to do with what type of file.
places.sqlite : History and Bookmarks.
prefs.js : Your settings. Note: If you were having problems, this could be contaminated.
cert8.db [v58+]cert9.db and possibly cert_override.txt : Stores all your security certificate settings and any SSL certificates you have imported into Firefox. If removed, the cert8.db, cert9.db file will be replaced.
search.json.mozlz4 : file stores the user-installed search engines that are available in the Firefox v47+
search.sqlite file and searchplugins folder store the search engines that are available in the Firefox Search bar before Firefox v47
Copy these files from the old to the new. You may get a message that the files already exist. Choose to over-write for each file.

I did use a new profile, but i think the problem start when I log into my firefox account
I need the firefox account because i became reliant on the password manager
I think i might switch to 1password if this dont get fixed , and stop using my firefox account
So today firefox was crashing on startup And it kept crashing like tens of time a refresh did nothing , it kept crashing even after a refresh
so since i am suspecting that the profiles are the reason i started firefox from the command line using
firefox.exe -P
I delete all the profiles created a new one and started firefox
now i am afraid to sync to my account, since i think this is what causing the profiles to crash firefox

For now, leave sync off. I called for more help.
