Every other day there's an update but the browser keeps crashing, fix the product for once so it would not crash few times every day. NO, my computer isn't the problem.

thanks, unfortunately those are all already a few months old so they won't tell us much about the current reasons for the crashes :-/

so based on this i will only be able to give some general troubleshooting advice in regards to crashes: Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly)

in particular i'd recommend to run a full scan of your system for malware with multiple different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan.
