Those are crash reports that hang on clearing formdata (Form & Search History).

   Settings -> Privacy & Security
   Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
   [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings

You appear to be clearing quite some data and Firefox takes too long to clear all of this:

"privacy_sanitize_sanitizeOnShutdown": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_cookies": false, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_history": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_formdata": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_downloads": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_cache": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_sessions": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_offlineApps": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_siteSettings": true, "privacy_clearOnShutdown_openWindows": false

You can try to clear less data and start with excluding formdata.
