I don't think "crash" is the right word for the Firefox behaviour. Yes it does pop a window that calls itself a "crash reporter", but in my observation it's a shutdown timer timeout that expires after ~60secs.
My guess is that it's trying to obtain or release a filesystem lock, possibly one that it's lost track of in some trivial way.
I've never seen any damage or inconsistencies in the resulting environment. So I don't think it's a dramatic event, just a safety timer that isn't resolved correctly.

Probably a simple, dumb, but harmless bug.
