This support said why Firefox will not "stay up" is I am on a BETA...
I did not choose a BETA VERSION. I have used FIREFOX since VERSION 1.0. IT USED TO BE THE BEST BROWSER EVER CREATED. BUT NO LONGER. WE use Firefox to accomplish things, not to debug BETA versions all day. One day I wake up and you FORCED rel 89.0 on us and it turned the whole WEEK to crap. I had 6 consecutive crashes the other day. Today I had 5 consecutive crashes. I had to turn my PC off and give it and me a rest. I did not ask for a BETA, even to leave rel 88. YOU 'forced' it on us with your "you have no other chooses if you want to continue using FIREFOX attitude. And all you can say is: Go BACK to 'stable rel 90 AND CREATE A NEW PROFILE? DO you have any idea how hard it is for us, a USER to CREATE A NEW PROFILE FROM SCRATCH?
THIS MAKES NO SENSE, YOU CRAM A "BETA" ON US, IT CRASHES A HALF DOZEN TIMES A DAY and your answer is to go back to a stable version YOU FORCED ON US? Then we spend a day or two creating a NEW PROFILE until you force ANOTHER BETA on us to test for you? You can't let us stay on a STABLE version like rel 88 until you work out the bugs then "tell us" there is one available and advise us to INSTALL IT? THIS IS CRAZY, let alone "Professional".

Have you considered using your Firefox Account to Sync data between different Firefox profiles?
Firefox does need to be stable enough to have time to upload/download data in the background, so that wouldn't help if Firefox keeps crashing spontaneously.

The crash reports are OOM (out of memory) reports where not enough contiguous free memory is available. Also the page file is running out of space although its size seems to be 34 GB. The reports show "Process Type: gpu", so this might indicate issues with hardware acceleration or other graphics related issues.

What does the Windows Task Manager say about the memory usage in general (Firefox and other software) ?
You can check the Firefox Task Manager (about:performance) and about:memory pages.
