Hello,

I am getting a frequent freeze in the Android app and then shortly after a crash. Info: - happens on FF, FF Beta, and FF Nightly,and reinstall/phone reset didn't fix. - Samsung Galaxy SM-G965U running Android 10. - every error starts with java.lang.OutofMemoryError. - it never happens just on startup, just on auto fill, or some of the similar crash reports I've seen around here. - it does appear to be site-specific, but sometimes the site works and sometimes it does not: if I close the last tab after a crash, it will usually work for awhile. - Sync and disabling Add-ons doesnt fix it, although perhaps its worse with uBlock Origin enabled (not conclusively)

Thanks for any suggestions.

initially wrote this in the Google reviews and got told to put this here, I will copy my text:

```of course the only browser currently usable mobile or otherwise. I am mostly here to report an issue, fairphone 4 / android 13 app freezes on tapping search bar

steps to reproduce : open browser and use normally for some time click search bar

this is not a brilliant diagnosis I know but it seems to be a memory issue and I don't have the toolkit to properly check. large amount of tabs open and long media consumption and fast opening and closing of tabs all seem to impact the speed of this occurring so this made the most sense to me

restarting usually fixes the issue but deletes the last ~2min of activity. very strange all in all, I will again suggest a memory leak as the problem```

I keep trying Firefox browser once in a while for many reasons such a giving it a try to see the improvements, to give it a chance to become my daily driving browser but small niggles such as below doesn't give confidence to make it a default browser.

In website gsmarena.com on mobile Firefox browser when you type in search field, while website tried to dynamically show all matching phone models to a letter that you just typed, browser and keyboard just starts to lag and freeze before it can accept any further input of letter typing. Don't have this issue with other browsers.

After I want to multitask on my phone and switch between the browser and other app. The page becomes blank and refresh button doesn't work.

I need to open a new card to continue using the website loosing all temporary changes made to it.

Issue was present for at least 6 months.

Listening to audiobooks made me notice this problem, often whilst my phone is turned off and the audiobook is playing in the background on a tab on firefox the audio would just stop and i would find either that firefox was still open but unloaded all the tabs, or that it simply crashed. I thought this was a thing that solely happened when playing audio in the background but then i noticed that it is actually a general problem when firefox is kept open in the background. It doesnt happen after a set amount of time, sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes after like 10 minutes that it is kept in the background. How can i fix this? its very annoying.

As the title says, I got a problem with Android version of Firefox that sometimes on some webpages it just hangs and doesn't load the page at all. While it's hanging there if i try to open extension settings it doesn't even load that, just opens blank page. Only way around it is to close tab and try again later. Sometimes i can just close tab and on next try it works, sometimes it just doesn't. I've had same issue with PC version of Firefox and it seems to be fixed after disabling HTTPS over DNS. On Android I've tried changing network.trr.mode to 5 but with no luck. Also ive tried disabling extensions and changing some options but whatever I do it just still keeps happening. Btw its a new install after years of not using Firefox, perhaps because of the same issue.

Firefox 129.0 Samsung tablet.

Reading the Guardian via browser and the page freezes at least twice in one session. Have cleared cache.

What works is closing and reopening.

Thank you.

All of a sudden with the past week or so I've been having problems writing emails because as I type my words get cutoff and I have to wait for a second or two to start entering letters again. It happens all of a sudden and even occurred when I was entering data to join the forum just now. I looked at the tasks that were running to see if anything there was impacting the performance of the system and found tasks labeled "FirefoxCP Insulated Web Content" running and eating up CPU cycles, up to 48% while in priority position. Sometimes I had up to 6 of these tasks going at one time. What is going on and how can I correct this situation because it's impacting my ability to use any functions that require data entry.

This hang is not consistent. I have been switching back and forth to get details for this thread with no issue. But very frequently when I have switched away from Firefox to another app and then returned to Firefox the app has completely frozen. I can see everything clearly but can do nothing at all (neither the web page or Firefox). I haven't yet identified a pattern.

132.0.2 has Relay and CashRewards installed. 133.0b8 is vanilla.

I'm using gesture controls on HyperOS to switch apps.

No issues with any other apps.

Is this where I report such things?
