Why does closing the browser cause HTC sense to reboot?
I installed Firefox on my HTC EVO 4g, which is currently running Android 2.3. It was also the latest version of Firefox. I began to use it. The first issue was that the browser had to load every time I used it. Then, went I clicked back to go back to my home screen, the home screen had to load. In other words, HTC Sense, the overlay on Android, was rebooting. EVERY TIME. So I uninstalled. But I would like to use Firefox so that I can sync. Please fix.

It has nothing to do with Firefox, but with Android 2.3. It happened to other programs besides Firefox as well. This issue has been discussed extensively in several HTC EVO forums. This is one of the problems HTC EVO users face after update to 2.3. This problem does not exist in Android 2.2.
The Android process manger will kill/hibernate tasks in the background when there is a need for more memory or cpu. Including the Sense UI. This is not directly Firefox's fault and there is nothing we can do to prevent the Android OS from doing this.
@kbrosnan: What you say makes sense, but thus far, my phone has not done this. I have run many other apps and multiple apps at a time without Sense UI being hibernated or killed. This leads me to believe that Firefox may be taking up an inordinate amount of memory.
