The version I'm using is 68.0.1 and freebsd is 12-stable r350717 and I have=
 no
firefox issues.

I'm using pkg but I build my own packages with poudriere-devel.

Need more information from you regarding the issue before even guessing what
might be wrong. What version of firefox is installed? if installed from
packages, what does pkg info | grep firefox say? What freebsd version?
Anything in /var/log/messages that might indicate a firefox problem? What's
the spec of the machine?

Saying all that, have a look at the last suggestion (dated 2019-08-03 14:48=
:49
UTC) on this thread it might be useful:
