Форум спільноти Firefox для Android

I had some dozen of anonymous tabs open (mostly images I wanted to download later on without the hosting site cluttering my history). I let Firefox run in background over some time and when I opened it again anonymous tabs were gone.

Close Tabs is set to manual. Battery usage is unrestricted.

On devices with a large screen, you should be able to use multiple browsers simultaneously using multiwindow. For Chrome, Edge, and Samsung Browsers, you can use more than one browser in MultiWindow. Firefox should also be able to use more than one browser.

Attached is an example of using 1 browser window on edge.

When using Firefox on Android for a while, attempting to use pinch to zoom on a web site will cause Android to crash, as in the screen will go black, the G logo animation will appear, and I'll be sent back to the lock screen. It's not just the app that crashes. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as that takes longer and starts with a different animation, but some part of Android is restarting.

It's consistent but not predictable. Pinch to zoom will work on one site fine and then crash on the same site later. It seems to be a resource issue as it's unlikely to happen on a fresh instance and it becomes more likely the longer you've been using Firefox.

This has been happening for several months, since at least July. It's happened both on my old Pixel 6 Pro and my new Pixel 9 Pro. It's happened on both Android 14 and 15.

I eventually found out I could go to Settings > About Firefox > Crashes and get some debugging info, but I don't know what to do with it. I currently have 15 crashes between now and Oct 16th which all say:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Adding window failed

Clicking Share to get more info on the latest one adds:

I don't know what to do with this info. Should I file a Bugzilla report with just this? The GUID associated with the most recent one is 7a5e5497-bb62-4e3c-94fc-5c63c51d0830. I can't look it up in crash-stats.mozilla.org. Or should I assume all crash reports are automatically received? I'd still like to be able to have a Bugzilla bug to watch for progress.

Be descriptive. Saying “playing video on YouTube is always choppy” will help us understand the issue better than saying “something is wrong” or “the app is broken”.

Hello,

Why some websites aren't working properly with Firefox but does with others?

Here are two websites that I have issues with:

https://bell.ca (Home internet section, can't scroll) https://cogeco.ca (Business internet section, can't scroll)

I use PC Thunderbird to handle my business emails (Hostinger) - it's great, love it!

Just installed new android app on samsung phone and tablet. Receives emails fine but cannot send any. I've double checked settings are the same - server name , port, SSL/TLS

I've tried turning off VPN. Any ideas please?

Hi. Websites suddenly are too zoomed in and I didn't change anything - not intentionally. The zoom function works but fully zoomed out is too big. This is only in Firefox and not the other browsers.
