Firefox for iOS Support Forum

In the last few weeks, despite regular updates Firefox constantly crashes, freezes, or works very slowly compared to my previous experience.

What to do?

Thanks

11/22 Firefox crashing after recent iOS update to 12.5.6. Restarted, removed Firefox to reinstall, but I find no working version for iOS 12.5.6 for iPad Air. IPad Air = model MD789LL/B System upgraded to 12.5.6 Restarted Firefox, crashes, goes to desktop. Go to App Store but no Firefox listed for this sys version. HELP ANYONE?

Image with error attached below. FFox 107.0 (21907)

When I press the "Home" button/icon in FFox for IOS to go to the startup page I am getting an error message "The URL can't be shown / WebKitErrorDomain".

I believe this is an evolution of the error I reported here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397009 However, it looks like there's been a FFox update in the last day (If I recall the version number correctly from the last one) and the error has changed.

Reliably reproducing this: - Start FFOX - press a startup page icon to access a site OR enter a URL directly in the address line. Look at one or more pages. - press FFOX "Home" button/icon to get back to FFOX startup screen - error occurs - The URL line when the error occurs is ".enx%20la%20l".

Info: I reported a very similar error here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397009 about a week ago. A few days ago it cured itself. Then today it started again but with a slightly different URL and a completely different error message. However, the oddball URL tells me the two are closely related.

Recap: - I've been using FFOX for years without issue on this phone. - Everything else including accessing web sites seems to be working normally. - There have been no related configuration changes on my part since the last error but it does look like FFox has updated. I don't know how to see the version number in the previous post so I'm not sure. - There have been no IOS updates on the phone in the last couple months (auto update is off)

The TLD/url (.enx) does not appear to be a valid TLD. It's either something FFox is using internally or perhaps IOS is supplying it (seems unlikely but possible). I do have the usual array of sites on my startup page as icons. None of the sites iconed on the startup page has been changed recently.

If I close the (al)l tabs and/or instead start a new one, I get the startup screen as expected. So there are apparently no network access issues. This is 100% reliable with no delays.

This definitely looks like a BUG to me or an internal issue. Is there a better way to report a bug?

I’m getting the attached message multiple times when I access some sites. Some times this comes up when I’m just browsing to a logon splash screen but it only started with the most recent update.

Hi

Whenever I start Firefox it crashes after 10 seconds or so. Already reinstalled the app. Very annoying! iOS version 16.1.1 Firefox version 106.2 iPhone 11

After the most recent update to version 106.1 on my iPhone 11 iOS 15.6.1, every time I open Firefox and open a new tab the browser is unresponsive for several seconds, then slowly registers my input in the search bar, and occasionally crashes during that process. It also hangs up and crashes at random. It will no longer open links to PDF files. I love Firefox, but this is becoming unusable.

I download the APP, but whenever I use it and try to do anything with it, like sync with another device, it tells me I need to download and use the app - EVEN THOUGH I AM USING THE APP!

Every time I open the current Firefox app it immediately opens and crashes. This starting happening a few days ago randomly but now happens all the time. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn’t help. Also restarted the iPhone 13 too. Suggestions? Thanks.
