I just checked it with a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04.01 on a
different machine, and I cannot reproduce the problem. I went back and
checked it again on my main computer, and the bug went away! The last
crash was two days ago on 2020-08-27, and now it doesn't crash anymore
when I logout or shutdown. It seems that it has been fixed in firefox
80.0.

Title:
Firefox crashes on logout
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Every time I logout or shutdown the system with firefox open, it will
generate a crash report in about:crashes. However, there is no crash
dump in /var/crash.
I noticed this before I upgraded from 18.04 LTS recently, and at first
I thought the crash went away after the upgrade, but sadly it's not
the case.
I've tested with a fresh new user, with the same result. I'm running
Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
This may be the same bug as bug #73536 ( Mozilla Bugzilla #336193),
but I can't be sure.
To reproduce:
Open firefox. Logout with firefox window open. login again and check
"about:crashes" in firefox.
The output of:
lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy firefox
No LSB modules are available.
