Hello,

I have Firefox 33.0 running on my Samsung Galaxy S4. It was working fine for months, but last week it started closing unexpectedly every time I open it. I can use the browser for a minute or two and then it closes. I don't get an error message or any issue; the browser just exits to my phone home screen.

about:crashes is blank.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the browser multiple times. No help.

Please advise!

I have the Android sdk running, and have followed the instructions on the page for the debugger. I can keep it connected until Firefox on my mobile quits (as per usual). Now what?

Thanks. I'm downloading Firefox Nightly to see if it works for me.
