I advocate Firefox, but I must admit I personally am affected by regular crashes on Firefox desktop. Mostly when I enter a page I haven't visited before (randomly though).
I don't know if others are affected by this, and I still recommend Firefox regardless, but every crash leaves a sour taste in my mouth. As it is not widespread, it might just be my setup, but still.
That's not normal. You should go to the support pages and see if there is a fix. And it could be an addon causing the issue, not FF itself. I had that issue many years back.
I did check the about:crashes page and it showed me that it seems to be related to "speechd init" and the crash itself is being linked with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1794057
Having said that, I just disabled narrate, so maybe it goes away now.
