Firefox Crashing Frequently
Recently Firefox has been randomly crashing the past 3 weeks multiple times, Is anyone else having this odd issue ? I'll be watching a stream or youtube video and bam out of no where the Browser goes black for like 20 or 30 seconds then crashes. I sent in about 3 crash reports and wondering if the Firefox team is aware of this issue.

When entering About Crashes in the address bar and pressing enter it's only showing one crash instead of the multiple I've had. Literally had a crash 5 mins ago but it's not logged, Firefox crashes every day and it's so frustrating. Seems like the crashing is only happening on Youtube.
I forgot to mention that i am using uBlock Origin with the newest version.

What ever comes with Windows 11, Windows Defender AntiVirus.

Yes, no crashes in Troubleshoot Mode.
So what add-on is causing the issue?
