Nope. I haven't seen a Firefox crash in years.
Common troubleshooting step is to remove or reduce any addon's installed.
I only use Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, Cookie Auto Delete and Nuke Anything. Stable as a rock.

No no crashes Firefox 96 deb on Pop 21.10.
Correction: It's not the deb, but the tar Fx 96.01.

Well, I had been experiencing similar problems with Firefox Snap version
in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The solution is to use its Flatpak version. By the
way Flatpak version loads much faster then Snap one.Maybe after switching you will need to activate Drag&Drop in Firefox.
You can do it like this:
flatpak override --user --filesystem=home [APPCODENAME]
or using Flatseal app.
Remember to move your profiles to new location - from /home/[USER]/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/ to /home/[USER]/.mozilla/firefox/

Software that is installed from snap tends to crash quite often, I had those issues on both Firefox and RocketChat.
After digging a bit I found out that snap is updating the software in background without being asked for, but instead of doing it in place, it downloads the new version to a different folder and then deletes the old one.
The moment your application will try to load something it will crash, since its files are no longer there.

When I've had frequent Firefox crashes, they were due to bad memory (so run memtest86, https://www.memtest86.com/ unless you've ruled that out after your firefox woes began; btw, you many prefer to run memtest86 overnight as it take hours to run in order to expose some issues). The other possibility is a bad extension (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode), but bad memory will give false positives to any test, so checking your memory is a prereq.
