It's possible that there's something wonky about the size of your watchlist or specific contents of it. If I knew your username I could look up your watchlist to check, and see if I can reproduce the issue.

Ultimately a Firefox crash is likely to be a bug in Firefox itself, but it always helps to be able to narrow down the trigger if possible.
