This is suddenly happening to me on Firefox 92.0 (64-bit) running on Windows 10 21H1. Worked on 9/12, failed consistently starting 9/13, (possibly coinciding with auto-update from FF 91.0.2 to FF 92.0). I'm using WidevineCDM version 4.10.2209.1 to watch Xfinity stream recordings. Have submitted 3 crash reports via FF.

Chosen solution

BTW, It seems I have resolved it on my own, by using a couple of the buttons on the about:support page...

First I cleared the startup cache, restarted FF, and then I Refreshed Firefox.

Hope this helps.
