I had thought it was adblocker, but I tried relaunching with everything +plugins disabled, and also launching in safemode, and can still replicate the crash.

Try to set media.apple.mp4.enabled to false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thank you; I couldn't find the page for the crash report.

The about:config change seems to have taken care of the issue - thanks so much.
