Firefox is crashing after the last few updates (v121.0.1)
I've been using Firefox on my phone for about half a year, rarely updating the browser. I did it first time approximately 2 weeks ago and since then it started to crash frequently. The latest update hasn't resolved the issue.
Setup: - galaxy S23+ - latest Android version (13) - Firefox version 121.0.1 (Build #2015995071), fd4d251332+ GV: 121.0.1-20231230165955 AS: 121.0
I have more than 100+ tabs opened with a setting activated "Close tab: Never" and "Move old tabs to inactive". Has several plugins installed: - Ghostery - Decentraleyes - Search by Image - uBlock Origin - ClearURLs
I usually visit 5-10 websites a day, having multiple opened tabs to read later. Sometimes when I open a new tab, open the page, start scrolling, the browser slows down and then crashes. It doesn't show any error, just shuts down the app so I have to open it again.

Hi
I am sorry to hear that Firefox for Android is crashing. I hope that we can help resolve this for you. Before following the steps below, make sure that you have updated both your Android device and Firefox for Android to the latest versions available.
As a first step, close down many of the tabs that you have open to as few as possible. Does this help reduce the incidence of a crash?
If this does not resolve the issue, open the Android Settings app, select Applications then find Firefox in the list. In the section headed "Storage", selct the option to clear the cache (do not clear data!). Does this help?
Failing that, our developers will need to look into this in more detail with some logs from inside your copy of Firefox for Android. Type about:crashes in the address bar which will display information about recent crashes. If you select the most recent "Socorro" link, a crash report will open in a new tab. If you could copy and paste the address of the page that opens into a reply to this thread, we will be able to look into this further for you.
I hope that this helps.

Hi Paul. Thanks for the update.
I don't want to reduce the number of tabs opened. I understand that it might not be the normal case having many tabs opened, but I want to keep my habits as is and ideally not to experience crashes (as it used to be prior to updates).
I cleared browsing history and cache. Checked about:crashes - it doesn't have any new ones (few olds that happened several months ago, not related to this issue). When it happens browser just stops working, process is terminated without any notification.
Will report if something changes.
