I have a Sony Xperia Ion running Android 4.0.4 with Firefox 17. Firefox frequently crashes when it is installed to the phone memory. This was with sync. I then uninstalled the app, and reinstalled it, then moved it to internal memory. The app is extraordinarily slow and the keyboard only works about 1/3rd of the time when it is installed to internal memory without sync. I have not yet tried turning the sync back on. Either situation makes the app unusable. I have tried clearing the data and cache, I've tried moving it, uninstalling it, I tried culling my other apps to make more memory available. I'm at a loss.

Ok... so it has started crashing again and is actually giving me errors and sending reports to Mozilla. However, it has affected several other apps, such as messaging and google play, which will now crash unexpectedly without any warning or error message.

Would you open Firefox and type about:crashes into the address bar. There should be a list of all sent crashes there.

If you need to get the numbers/letters right click on the crash report let it load and use the share option in the menu.

Looks like our developer team is looking into the issue. I'll try to update this when there is a fix. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785597
