That remains to be seen. There are websites, which make Firefox crash
reproducible for the user, who is affected by the bug, but it cannot be
guaranteed that the contents served at the URL are the same for everyone
at every location and 24/7, too.

Private browsing seems to have an influence.

It's a fallacy to hope for such conclusions. The sample isn't large enough
for anyone to conclude that "a big part" of the users isn't affected.

There seem to be some bugzilla tickets about "Gah. Your tab just crashed.",
such as  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1440569  but how many users take
the time to submit such a problem report manually?

Only somebody with enough insight (such as intimate knowledge of Firefox)
should decide on that. It would be silly to release a broken Firefox,
which crashes early for users depending on what websites they visit first
or where on this world they live to be affected by ad banners/videos or
anything that causes these crashes.
