Firefox crashes at startup since the last update.
I deleted the cache and profile folder but no luck. I also checked for broken packages but everything seems fine.
If I revert to the state before the update, it works again.
$ firefox ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 2030 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

I know it won't help you but here it works.
Perhaps you could simply try to update another time and try again ?
After making sure you are fully up to date and checked for broken packages and have reinstalled firefox (sudo eopkg it --reinstall firefox), if you are still facing this issue please install gdb and firefox debuginfo via : sudo eopkg it gdb firefox-dbginfo
Next run firefox in the gdb debugger gdb firefox, then type in run to start firefox, when it crashes type bt into gdb to get the backtrace and post that here.
I made sure the system was fully up to date and checked for broken packages (none was found), then I reinstalled firefox but it still crashes so here's the backtrace you requested:

Thanks, next can you find the crash report and the minidump and upload them for me, they should be in ~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash\ Reports/events/ and ~/.mozilla/firefox/9ypc25aw.default-release/minidumps/ respectively noting that 9ypc25aw would be the name of your profile.
sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/unstable/f/firefox/firefox-86.0-213-1-x86_64.eopkg feel free to reopen if it doesn't fix the issue.
