Any ideas as to what I should do?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have Firefox as my main browser on my Samsung Galaxy S21 phone and recently it keeps crashing. Constantly I am using this medium to ascertain whether you are aware of this extremely annoying issue and if so how do you suggest that I should proceed in order to correct same. Best regards, Volney Boswell

Firefox keeps crashing after only 2cminutes of use on Amdroid-here's the message:

After updating to 150 (any subversion), FF crashes on almost start - I can load a page but loading another page or a video in the page will stop loading after a while and crash within 5-10sec. No about:crashes generated. No crash if I only browse the page that's opened (except if I load extra content like videos). FF remembers if I navigate to another page before the crash, it'll open the navigated-to tab (provided it has been long enough, small pages load, big pages don't). It really looks like after loading a fixed amount of data it just stops loading and crashes, taking the full browser down with it. Note that there is likely 500+ tabs opened (even though it's never been a problem), cache was cleared and extensions deactivated.

For the first time in many many years, the beta's unstable (brillant track record for a beta)!

I was attempting to use the Pinetools.com photo editing site on Firefox for Android, and it sent Firefox into a crash loop - I had to uninstall and reinstall. I was able to replicate this one more time. Here's exactly how it went down:

• went to https://pinetools.com/add-noise-image
• uploaded and filtered the photo
• "right"/long-clicked it to open the edit in a new tab, which immediately sent Firefox into a crash loop
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox when it became clear that closing the app wasn't solving the problem
• replicated the above steps, to the same result
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox again.

I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and reinstalled them both times - is there any chance I could have put my device/info at risk?

Hello,

I've noticed that recently that Firefox seems to repeatedly crash on my Xiaomi phone quite frequently. It's a Xiaomi 15 Pro on HyperOS 3.0.7.0, and here are some of the crash reports:

Hi.

I have recently set firefox as my default browser on my Google pixel 8a.

I have had to clear all data from my Firefox browser twice in 2 days. First time I didn't know what was going on and saw in a search that when your browser stops loading try clearing all data, and it worked.

Second time was when opening a link from a Google pixel email about new features: Google pixel new feature link .

When it happens no page will load, the tab just remains as a black screen. This happens to all tabs that were previously opened as well as the new tab from the link.

I don't know if this is because of links from Google mailshots, or links opened from Gmail (don't think so), or what, but having to clear all data daily is a big issue. History, logins, cache, etc, lost.

It definitely need a fix please.

I keep getting crashes in Android tablet with the current version. Crash reports keep mentioning something to do with Java. This has been a consistent problem for the last few versions. What gives?????

I need to change some config settings to prevent some problems that corrupt the screen or crash Firefox on android almost every day. I found that using a Bluetooth reduces the frequency of these problems, but it still happens and is very frustrating.

Hello, My firefox app stoped working today(version for androids). I uninstalled it and installed it twice but it still won't work. When I open it, it stops working after a few seconds and I recive a notification that it crashed. What should I do?

Lately my Firefox app window will just randomly close while I'm using it. I notice most often on Facebook, but that's because it's the most often used page.

When I reopen the app, it's like I just opened it, not like it got minimized.

What's wrong with it? I have it updated to current version, as well as I've run malware and virus scans to see if it's my phone. Nothing found.

Ever since I switched my search engine to duck duck go I've noticed that from time to time the firefox app deems to freeze up and either it continues or just crashes.

My mobile app Firefox keeps crashing on starting it reinstalling doesn't help it used to work at some point but now it doesn't.

My phone is OnePlus 13 it has the latest EU updates. I can't seem to figure out why it crashes.

I installed the latest version from the Google play store. Other versions of Firefox work fine like nightly or beta only the main one crashes.

I installed the Firefox update this week on my Motorola Moto G Stylus phone running Android 11. Since doing so, the app repeatedly crashes when I click on something in Collections. Bookmarks not in a collection still work, as do other links on the home page. I have restarted the phone, but it did not fix the problem. It is hard to avoid the confusion that this is being caused by something in the update. Will there be a fix released soon?
