Firefox crashing on HTC One M8 with Android 5

Installed Android 5 last night on my M8 from Verizon and while the install went fine, when I tried to launch Firefox this morning it crashed right after launch. I removed the app, thinking maybe it was a config issue with the browser or a sync problem and a new install still crashed. I tried Firefox beta and that crashed as well. My phone is NOT rooted and I haven't had an issue with any other app yet.

I've had to resort to Chrome and I'm not happy with it, so please look into the issue so I can use Firefox again.
