I've had this issue for a while across multiple phones and multiple versions of Firefox for Android, and it does not happen with any other browser (which is upsetting). Whenever I am surfing the web and have multiple tabs open, and I switch from 4g to wifi or vice versa, I always get a "Server not found" error on both existing tabs and new tabs. This is an annoying issue that I am surprised to see hasn't been fixed. The only way I've been able to fix it is to quit and relaunch the app. I have tried removing plug-ins and reinstalling, but it has not helped.

Anything I could do to alleviate the issue?

Hi scruffy90:

You wrote "LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both on Android 4.4.2 Firefox for Android Ver. 35.0.1 "

I just tried switching between HSPA+ aka 3G and WiFi on a Galaxy S5 running Android 5 and have had no issues but I think this may have been an issue in the past (I did a search for a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org but couldn't find anything).

Are there any other details you could provide that could help us debug? e.g.

  1. Are you using a proxy?
  2. Who is your WiFi provider?
  3. Have you tried other WiFi (e.g. the Wifi both at home and work)

Cheers!

...Roland

Hello Roland, No proxy on the phone or wi-fi network. My ISP is Time Warner, but I supply my own router (Linksys e4200) And this happens on every wi-fi network, at home and away from home.

Hi again scruffy90

Very strange. I don't manually switch between 3G/4G/LTE& WiFi; I just let Android handle it and it works fine on my Android devices. Never had a problem with Samsung Note 3, S5 and Note 4.

Are you manually switching from wifi to 4G?

Cheers!

...Roland
