This problem has been on my phone for years, through many iOS versions and several iPhones. I'm guessing its something in my settings but I have no idea what. Basically, when I use Firefox on my iPhone and switch away to another program, when I switch back to FIrefox, it loses its connection to the site I was using and goes to its home page. Yes, really! If things were normal, I should be able to switch away and switch back any time at all, but it pretty much always "crashes" when I do that. But I don't want to call it a crash, because Firefox stays open and happy, but just navigates away from the URL I'd been on. What might I check in order to pursue a "fix" (I doubt that something is broken!). Thanks.
Quick followup - When I'm using FIrefox and simply put my phone to sleep (push the button on the right side, sorry, I forget the name), when I wake the phone Firefox does that same thing and leaves the page I was on and opens the home page.
3/18/26 - SOLVED! Or, rather, fixed. I finally gave up and uninstall Firefox from my iPhone, then rebooted (just for good luck) and went to Apple's App store and installed Firefox again. Set it up to sync with my desktop (Windows) Firefox, and it seems to be running fine on my phone. Whatever was causing the problem before is no longer there. Wish I had more to offer re what that problem might've been, but simply uninstalling and installing again took care of it.
