Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox za Android

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.

Hi Firefox Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with Firefox on my Poco X7 Pro (HyperOS). Pages in tabs automatically reload when returning to the app after switching away, even after only ~1 minute. This happens despite all of the following:

- Battery optimization disabled (No restrictions) - Background activity allowed - App Lock enabled in Recent Apps - Tabs → Close inactive tabs = Never - Delete browsing data on quit = Off - Developer options → Background process limit = No limit - RAM Plus active (~12GB available)

In comparison, Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi maintain tabs for hours on the same device without reload.

• • Device:** Poco X7 Pro
  • OS:** HyperOS (please add exact version / Build number)
  • Firefox version:** (147.0.3, e.g., 125.0.1)
  • RAM:** 12GB RAM plus active

• • Steps to reproduce:**

1. Open Firefox and navigate to any web page. 2. Switch to another app or go to Home. 3. Wait approximately 1 minute. 4. Return to Firefox. 5. Observe that the page reloads and previous state (scroll position, forms, media) is lost.

• • Expected behavior:** Tabs should retain their state unless the system completely kills the Firefox process.

• • Actual behavior:** Pages reload automatically, even when the process is still in memory.

• • Logs / Attachments:**

- adb logcat / bugreport (firefox_reload_log.txt or bugreport.zip) - Optional screen recording demonstrating the issue - Timestamps of occurrence for reference

Could you please advise if there is a recommended configuration for HyperOS/Poco devices, or if a workaround exists to improve tab persistence for Firefox (Gecko engine) under aggressive memory management?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, AmirAbbas

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?

Have be3n hav8ng this problem for at least a week, on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 with Android 14 (One UI). About 20cto 30 seconds after launch, the browser abruptly closes back to the home screen. Have tried resetting the tablet, clearing some old apps out, etc., but thr problem persists.

I have dumped the latest Mozilla Crash Report from my browser. Apparently, there is an issue with memory:

cf13ba46-8115-4130-8396-249e2c218304 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 134217744 byte allocation with 50331648 free bytes and 116MB until OOM, target footprint 129110320, growth limit 201326592

Can SOMEONE help me figure this out, what should I do, etc.? I am going crazy fighting this..

Whenever I upload a file via my phone (Samsung Galaxy A55 5G), Firefox shows the upload prompt (selecting where the file is going to be) then crashes on its own.

I noticed this when I was using Canva, then tried a few more sites and the upload-crash problem persists all throughout.

Is there any way to troubleshoot this?

Firefox doesn't work on my pixel 7. Firefox should download updates automatically to fix this issue for secure websites. Also, you want us to go through all these steps to fix Firefox? It's not our problem. It's yours. I'm just going to have to delete Firefox. It doesn't work anymore and you don't want to fix it

Hi, I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android device often crashes or freezes whenever I try to launch or access certain modded APK-based games. I’ve already tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the issue still happens.

Is there any known fix or setting that could help Firefox handle these links or game launches more smoothly?

Thanks in advance!

HELP!!!!

Hello My Tabs are automatically crash after sometime i open it, all tabs are crasg out and i reload it again and again this is very annoyed, what can i do to stop reloading or crash

I’ve observed a consistent issue across several Android devices using Firefox (latest stable version). When trying to launch or interact with certain modded APK-based games—especially those with unpacked resources or modified DEX structures—Firefox either freezes or crashes unexpectedly.

Interestingly, this behavior doesn’t occur on other browsers like Chrome or Samsung Internet. In fact, some third-party websites seem to handle these APKs with stable performance, suggesting it's not an issue with the APKs themselves but possibly how Firefox handles local server callbacks, file-based intents, or memory allocation under WebView.

I’m wondering if this could be tied to Firefox’s stricter security sandboxing, CSP enforcement, or service worker management?

Are there any logs, flags, or debugging routes I can use to isolate the problem further?
