same issue here!
it's something regarding database folder under fenix android data folder.
I ve got root, deleting database folder (wich erase topsites, collection and login) solve the issue.
but adding a new topsite, close fenix and then reopen issue is back.

I got the issue!
deleting /data/data/org.mozilla.fenix/databases/mozac_downloads_database-shm
underdatabase folder solves the issue when u restart Firefox.
(just to be sure delete all the mozac_download things in database folder.)

Yes, but that is no solution for non-root users. This information is still helpful for identifiying the issue, but please also try to create a log for your crash, see https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14491#issuecomment-683424960.
