Firefox Android keeps crashing when tapping the address bar [OnePlus 12]

Adz

Hello,

I've been having an issue where Firefox Android keeps crashing whenever I tap the address bar. This happens when any tabs are open (even just 1) and even when I try to open a new tab to try and avoid the crashing.

The issue is consistent and repeatable for almost a year now. Thought updates would fix it as this issue was reported before. However, even after multiple updates, clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, and disabling all extensions the issue persists.

This is also not just limited to the address bar but also happens when I try to change the search engine from the quick switch on the address bar, search my bookmarks, history and settings, and sometimes when even trying to type into a website. While typing this post I backed away, closing the keyboard, when I clicked back into the text box to type the app crashed.

The only way for me to type in an address or search for something is to close all open tabs and then type into the address bar. Even a single open tab causes the app to crash repeatedly.

Hi

Do you have many other apps that you have installed on your Android device?

Yes I do, however it's not even close to filling up my storage (357 used totally out of 512 GB).

I also have 16 GB of RAM as well as an additional 12 GB of expanded RAM.
