Why does it randomly do this when idle? It reopens itself and restores all tabs. Even if I leave something to download or even with a Youtube video playing. I'm on Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 95.0 (64-bit)

It just says "No crash reports have been submitted."

Will I lose my tabs or anything if I create new profile?

I don't know. But try the new profile anyway. If the problem stops, then it was something in the old profile causing the issue.
