firefox stalls on new url
Hi All,
I really hope someone more clever than me can help me figure this one out as it is being a real deal breaker. I am a long time FFox user and for the longest time I have just dismissed this behaviour as a network issue or something not related to the browser itself. Every now and again, when typing in a new url, Firefox simply stalls and does not connect. It does not matter what URL it is and if I close that tab and open a new one (or reuse an already opened one). The browser stubbornly is stuck in "loading" mode but in fact it is doing nothing. Sometimes closing the session (by swiping the browser up off the screen)and reopening firefox works, sometimes not so much, however, every time if I open a private window, i can access the typed URL 100% of the time. This finding tells me without any doubt that the problem is with Firefox and I imagine there is a fairly simple explanation and fix as for a top browser that is simply not acceptable. My wanderings on reddit unfortunately did not yield any positive result with people just accepting it as "quirk". My ff is up to date (114.2.0) and is running on a Samsung s21.
Thanks so much for any way out of this madness.,

Please can you type about:support in the address bar and using the "Copy text to clipboard" option at the top of the screen (may be very small), then paste the contents of that page in a reply to this thread.

That suggests you are using version 114.0.2, not the latest version available which is 114.2. Please can you update from the Google Play store.
Weird... My about page says it's 114.2. see attached
Hi
Does switching between two tabs fix the problem?
Does switching to another app and then back to Firefox for Android fix the problem?
Do you have Android dark mode enabled?
Answer for first two questions is no. No difference. Sometimes closing the offending tab, loading something different on a new/different one and then re-entering the desired URL seem to help but it could be just random. Sometimes, leaving it alone for a while seems to do the trick. Unfortunately I don't have a consistent trick to bypass the behaviour. Android dark mode is yes.
Thank you for that information.
