Firefox vir Android Community Forum

My Firefox browser is crashing automatically on my Android device. Whenever I try to open the browser or load a website, it closes suddenly without any error message. I have already updated the app, but the issue is still not solved. Please help me fix this. Thank you.

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

Firefox keeps crashing. It was doing it even when I first got my phone, just not as much. I use Firefox on my laptop and like to be able to connect them both and the privacy or I would have gone to something else on the phone. Samsung A71 5g. I don't use 5g even thoygh the phone is capable of it. I don't trust 5g. I know the phone is old enough it doesn't get updates anymore, but I don't like the newer phones (no sd card being one of them).

Example: Clicked on a link in a emai from THIS GROUP trying to answer this problem. The responses did not fit so I hit the back button and again got the Fastmail.has stopped working screen.

Has also happened when accessing a site directly through Firefox and the backing up

Firefox mobile browser app (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, OneUI 7, Android 15) crashes after a few minutes even though account was logged out, and cache and mobile data cleared before app was uninstalled, and reinstalled with re-logged account.

This is my default mobile browser since I had my mobile phone. The app started crashing the first time that I logged out my firefox account, and the problem remains.

Been getting thes3 crash reports on Firefox for Android:

Any ideas as to what I should do?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have Firefox as my main browser on my Samsung Galaxy S21 phone and recently it keeps crashing. Constantly I am using this medium to ascertain whether you are aware of this extremely annoying issue and if so how do you suggest that I should proceed in order to correct same. Best regards, Volney Boswell

Firefox keeps crashing after only 2cminutes of use on Amdroid-here's the message:

After updating to 150 (any subversion), FF crashes on almost start - I can load a page but loading another page or a video in the page will stop loading after a while and crash within 5-10sec. No about:crashes generated. No crash if I only browse the page that's opened (except if I load extra content like videos). FF remembers if I navigate to another page before the crash, it'll open the navigated-to tab (provided it has been long enough, small pages load, big pages don't). It really looks like after loading a fixed amount of data it just stops loading and crashes, taking the full browser down with it. Note that there is likely 500+ tabs opened (even though it's never been a problem), cache was cleared and extensions deactivated.

For the first time in many many years, the beta's unstable (brillant track record for a beta)!

I was attempting to use the Pinetools.com photo editing site on Firefox for Android, and it sent Firefox into a crash loop - I had to uninstall and reinstall. I was able to replicate this one more time. Here's exactly how it went down:

• went to https://pinetools.com/add-noise-image
• uploaded and filtered the photo
• "right"/long-clicked it to open the edit in a new tab, which immediately sent Firefox into a crash loop
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox when it became clear that closing the app wasn't solving the problem
• replicated the above steps, to the same result
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox again.

I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and reinstalled them both times - is there any chance I could have put my device/info at risk?

Hello,

I've noticed that recently that Firefox seems to repeatedly crash on my Xiaomi phone quite frequently. It's a Xiaomi 15 Pro on HyperOS 3.0.7.0, and here are some of the crash reports:

I keep getting crashes in Android tablet with the current version. Crash reports keep mentioning something to do with Java. This has been a consistent problem for the last few versions. What gives?????

I need to change some config settings to prevent some problems that corrupt the screen or crash Firefox on android almost every day. I found that using a Bluetooth reduces the frequency of these problems, but it still happens and is very frustrating.

Hello, My firefox app stoped working today(version for androids). I uninstalled it and installed it twice but it still won't work. When I open it, it stops working after a few seconds and I recive a notification that it crashed. What should I do?

Lately my Firefox app window will just randomly close while I'm using it. I notice most often on Facebook, but that's because it's the most often used page.

When I reopen the app, it's like I just opened it, not like it got minimized.

What's wrong with it? I have it updated to current version, as well as I've run malware and virus scans to see if it's my phone. Nothing found.
