I still got crashes when playing video so I disable HW acceleration and restart firefox. I haven't gotten any crashes since then. It's really strange because firefox was working fine before with HW acceleration enabled. Maybe firefox or graphic driver updates were the cause, I don't know. This is resolved for now.

I have run sfc 2 times already. There is no error.
There is new graphic driver update. I just updated and I will see if it fixes my problem.
hi laija, please try this in order to address crashes that might happen during media playback: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva. double-click it and change its value to false.
Thanks for reply. Yeah, these crashes happened when I was watching Twitch. I had 2 more crashes since my last post.
This one happened after I updated my graphic driver. bp-e3cf66c1-e9ca-4091-9655-92e932161119
This one happened shortly after i change media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva to false bp-ebe0c546-a813-4716-8dc0-013492161119

That was very good work. Well done.
