Tried following the steps to stop Firefox from crashing from the support site but none of it works.
I followed this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding
Tried almost everything there, still hangs for 5 - 30 seconds randomly. It could happen 1 minute into using Firefox or a few hours in. Its random. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

So the browser is freezing, not crashing. And Safe Mode does not help.
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Hello,
I started Firefox in Safe Mode, it still happened. Also, the most recent crash report was on 16/12/2018, which this problem did not occur during that time. Nevertheless, here is the list of crash reports:

Ah, my mistake. Sorry for the misinformation. I did what you said. After 30 minutes of watching youtube videos (most commonly freezes when I do this), Firefox didn't freeze. What do I do now?
Thanks.
Surprisingly after that, Firefox stopped freezing. I've been using it for more than an hour straight and it didn't freeze. Not sure if I'm just lucky or what but will reply when it does happen again.
Could have been a corrupt file was overwritten. Wait a few days. If the problem is gone,
