My Firefox on IOS will no longer open and stay open. It keeps reverting to the home screen of my iPhone 15 Pro.

A couple of weeks ago, following the last iOS update, my Firefox browser will not stay open long enough to use it. It keeps reverting to the home screen. I have had to remove it as my default iPhone 15 Pro browser because it won't work. The bulk of my passwords are stored in Firefox, and not my phone password, so I can no longer use certain sites without changing all my passwords to get new ones when I don't have access to my desktop.

I also have an iPad Mini, latest version, with iPadOS 18.3.2 installed. My passwords suddenly stopped working.

So I have two devices I carry at all times. I can't access my iPhone browser, so no passwords, and my iPad browser works, and it can't access passwords either.

I am hoping to avoid deleting and re-installing, so I don't lose my browser history, but I don't know what else to do.

Thanks!
