Thank you for the bug report.

Could you please install the firefox-dbg package and obtain another crash report by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingFirefox This will greatly aid us in
tracking down your problem.

The areas in your crash report that state "(no debugging symbols
found)" are usually where the info that is needed to make a useful crash report is stored. If you could do this and resubmit it will help us look into your bug.

This bug does not seem to me to be a duplicate of bug #71182.

Firefox does not crash when I am using it. But if I leave the computer running overnight (or for a long time), Firefox crashes mysteriously without leaving anything noteworthy in /var/log/messages

I will try out the debugging routine and get back to this bug.
