Firefox as default browser on pixel killed by opening link from gmail

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.
