ios: “close all tabs” always fails

It seems since the last major system update on my iphone11 pro max (512G), firefox (my primary browser) has been… weird.

Long keypress delays (inconsistent; about 1/3 of the time as bad as 3s to over 10s!); I notice these to a much lesser extent on other browsers, but also on other browsers (why I’m singling out the iOS 18.1 release behavior changes; currently: iOS 18.3.2)

Frequent “crashes” (app simply closing) in the middle of activity);

Scroll unresponsiveness, similar in occurrence and delay times to keypress issues;

I have wondered if I’m having: • malicious software problem (?) • hardware intermittent failures (my battery needed replacement, which I’ve recently done and many things on the phone operate better, likely better use of multi-cores) • iOS software depending on new chips, and iphone 11 not having - software solution w/in iOS which is… inadequate

One thing I’ve noticed which is consistent (something I have not used before these behaviors, but partly this - and phone reboots - because of it):

Attempts to close all tabs consistently, always fails.

Any help appreciated.

Addendum:

1/ Right after posting this, I tried to “close all tabs” and let it run it’s course: no responsiveness from firefox to any input >10s followed by close (assume: crash). Upon re-opening, took a very long time to show anything (last tab); then I could inspect all tabs were still present, and now I’m adding this.

2/ keypress delay seems to be more prevalent at “first typing” on an input (as if an AI completion was working overtime), usually becoming less of a delay with each additional character (unless just as a completion suggestion is about to pop up) - this is why I guess iOS 18 is going slow, perhaps depending on a HW support in newer iphones.

3/ I just tried quickly typing “what” into other browsers to open either a URL or a search: Safari, Brave, Edge, Chrome had no noticeable delay (I’ll call that < 0.5s); Firefox had 1s-3s for each of 1st 3 characters.
