Firefox crashes

On my Android mobile Firefox keeps crashing multiple times a week. I tried deleting data, a clean install (but I am not sure if all application data was deleted), and I deactivated all plugins. Device is not rooted.

This seems to appear on large pages (e.g. many pictures, Desktop version) more frequently.

These are the crash reports: bp-0a35ae0e-e74e-409d-a620-628340180209 09.02.18 08:17 bp-3159bef7-e7b4-43ae-9eea-835010180206 06.02.18 18:42 bp-ed540d98-6cb2-4c3e-aaa9-8d3910180206 06.02.18 13:18 bp-3da6b15e-97a2-45fb-b9ed-126710180131 31.01.18 13:09 bp-532449f5-cc46-4df3-b21f-70a0b0180127 27.01.18 19:55 bp-1c5d01d8-64a7-4cb6-9f3a-e17040180121 21.01.18 09:42 bp-362c46f0-3f03-45a3-ba1b-f08900180110 10.01.18 17:06 bp-9fc548e4-13b6-4397-adbf-455570180109 09.01.18 19:37 bp-8fe750a7-8de6-4224-9670-60fd10180107 07.01.18 20:07

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

Do Not remove the profiles folder.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Hi FredMcD,

thanks for your answer. Note that Firefox is running on Android 5.0 (Samsung Note 3), while your instructions were for Desktop OS.

I did a clean install via App store, all user data (like saved passwords) were deleted. This did not solve the problem, it keeps crashing every few days.

Hi FredMcD,

I don't understand your answer. Are you sure you are talking about Android? The link you sent only mentions Windows, MacOS, Linux.

Moving to Mobile support since the crashes happen on an Android device.

Do you have recent crash reports since the most recent crash happened on Feb 9?

Hi everyone, it would be great if somebody from the Android forum could take a look at the crashes and give me a hint whether this is related to memory problems, old version of OS or whatever...

This crash is strongly correlated with two Samsung devices, SM-N9005 and SM-N900U.
