Firefox 86 on Mac crashes on opening gmail.com and meet.google.com

My Firefox installation (86.0 64-bit on macOS 10.15.7) always crashes on opening gmail.com. It seems to be on the point it loads the hangout stuff, but that's subjective. Also seems to happen on other google domains, like meet.google.com

Some Crash ID's bp-b0a5daca-f85f-47dc-a306-647250210306 (gmail.com crash) bp-d4e0a614-cea4-41b3-b665-e5abd0210306 (meet.google.com crash)

What I've done:

  • Tested if crash happens in safe mode (yes)
  • Refreshed my installation: still happens
  • Removed all cookies for google domains, still happens
  • Created a fully new profile, crash still happens
  • Installed a new Firefox from the website, crash still happens

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

Dear FredMcD,

Thanks for looking into this. I did start in safe mode / with plugins disabled, and the crash happened again. I submitted the crash report under bp-5a59c92c-c0e5-4bb7-99cf-7babb0210306 and it again seems to be related to dlopen.

I called for more help.
