Hi, I have the latest firefox on my Samsung A54 5G (and previously on my A71). I'll open firefox, do a few searches and eventually I'll do a search and firefox goes back to the last search results and does NOT show any links related to the new search. If I kill firefox and restart it, it works again. The problem is more irritating than it might sound because it seems to happen too frequently when I am trying to look something up - but when I try to reproduce the issue it's hard to reproduce. The key element may be that I need to have firefox open and idel for a while before the problem occurs. Any advice is welcome!

Hi

If you open the Android Settings app, select "Applications" and find Firefox in the list. Under "Storage", clear the cache (do not clear data!). Feel free to do the same for other apps on your Android device.

Restart your device and you should notice an improvement.
