Firefox on iPhone freezes after re-opening app since latest update

Firefox for iOS App responsiveness

Noticed that Firefox on IOS was updated about 17 hours ago, so that may explain the current issue. When I open the app on my phone, it will be on the page I was last on, but would be frozen. Cannot add a new tab. Cannot add an address to in address bar. Nothing can be done u til I force quit the app, and then reopen the app afterwards (as long as I give it a couple seconds afterwards). Didn’t have this issue the day before.

This is currently under investigation, tracked in github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/34615

Just to add, latest version 153.0 still has the issue.

Thank you for posting. I'm having the problem too on an iPhone 13 on version 152.4 (74210). It's been happening for about two weeks I think.

Yes, the potential fix is in v153.1 — which should start shipping Sunday.
