Could not open Firefox App on my Android phone last night. Kept geting the message "Firefox keeps stopping", before the App had even opened.

Tried clearing cache. Tried Force Stop Tried retarting phone. Tried uninstalling Firefox app and Installing fresh Firefox App.

Nothing has worked. Still getting "Firefox keeps stopping", before the App has even opened.

Android 10 QPWS30.61-21-18-7 Firefox Version 148.0.2

I apprciate it's an old phone but the App was fine until yesterday?

Help?!

Hi

I am sorry to hear that Firefox for Android is crashing. I hope that we can help resolve this for you. Before following the steps below, make sure that you have updated both your Android device and Firefox for Android to the latest versions available.

As a first step, close down many of the tabs that you have open to as few as possible. Does this help reduce the incidence of a crash?

If this does not resolve the issue, open the Android Settings app, select Apps then find Firefox in the list. In the section titled Storage and Cache, select the option to clear the cache (do not clear data!). Does this help?

Following that, our developers will need to look into this in more detail with some logs from inside your copy of Firefox for Android. Type about:crashes in the address bar which will display information about recent crashes. If you select the most recent Socorro link, a crash report will open in a new tab. If you could copy and paste the address of the page that opens into a reply to this thread, we will be able to look into this further for you.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks for the standard reply, sent without you reading what I said: "Firefox keeps stopping, before the App has even opened."

Please expain how, "as a first step, close down many of the tabs that you have open to as few as possible"
