Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item:
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
I had tried that a few days ago and it still crashed, I have also tried factory restarting it and it still did the same problem. I searched and read it might be a java script error.
I came across js::types::ConstraintTypeSet::sweep(JS::Zone*)
and the crash reason was EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ
No idea what that means.

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
Also in that article is disabling hardware acceleration, something that can decrease CPU and or RAM usage on some systems (if it doesn't work, turn it back on).
There is a related bug to it, you can see it here
