Hello,

I am getting a frequent freeze in the Android app and then shortly after a crash. Info: - happens on FF, FF Beta, and FF Nightly,and reinstall/phone reset didn't fix. - Samsung Galaxy SM-G965U running Android 10. - every error starts with java.lang.OutofMemoryError. - it never happens just on startup, just on auto fill, or some of the similar crash reports I've seen around here. - it does appear to be site-specific, but sometimes the site works and sometimes it does not: if I close the last tab after a crash, it will usually work for awhile. - Sync and disabling Add-ons doesnt fix it, although perhaps its worse with uBlock Origin enabled (not conclusively)

Thanks for any suggestions.

This forum website sometimes just gets stuck and doesn't want to load, and Firefox won't even throw the timeout error. This issue cannot be consistently replicated.

I tested this in another browser called Google Chrome, and the issue is not present there.

I have a Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G running Android 13.

I can't seem to be able to apply the latest update of Firefox. It got downloaded and it's updating but won't finish the process. My computer even crashed during it and said "your computer was shot down because of a problem." It restarted itself and when I go back and click on About Firefox it still says "Applying update." How do I fix this problem? I'm on iOS Catalina 10.15.7

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

On the mobile app for Android (Google Pixel 2 XL, Android version 11), there's this really annoying issue where tabs are constantly duplicated. Normally, it's when I search something on Google (through Firefox). It pulls up the search results, of course. But when I hit a link, here's what happens: the tab is redirected as it should be, but simultaneously another tab is opened, which is a duplicate of the original tab (the one with the search results), and Firefox switches to view that tab, tab 2. So I have to go back to tab 1 to see whatever, and usually I then close tab 2. After this, once I've been hit a few links on a single tab, caused that tab to redirect a few times, it stops doing this. I've also noticed a similar issue, specifically with Google images in Firefox. Sometimes, when I open a picture to view it, every time I go to the tab with the picture, it opens a tab of the Google images page (before I selected a picture). This will happen endlessly sometimes, every time I open the tab to view the picture, meaning I never actually get to see the picture.

Since a few weeks, the app has been draining my battery like crazy. We're talking about higher energy consume than games, and with less screen-on time. I'm using a Pixel 7 pro, Firefox since I got it, and never had this issues until now. I was forced to uninstall it as ir was unbearable to use my phone and having it die several hours before it used to. After that I installed Chrome, which is not famous for being battery friendly, and the problems are completely gone.

I keep my apps ALWAYS up to date with updates, así well as my phone, so I'm sure the issue has something to do with Firefox app.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi there, I'm using Firefox for Android, and I have issue where videos will not start after some time. Here's my original report/review on the PlayStore: Videos tend to freeze after a few hours of not using the app. After I start using the app again, video won't resume, nor play in another tab. I have to go through options to kill the app, and launch it again.

Repro steps:

1. Open YouTube or Twitter
2. Play some videos
3. Switch to some other app
4. Wait for couple of hours (Yeah, i know)
5. Return to Firefox and try to play any video
6. Observe that video will not start, only the video player's UI gets visible

More info:

• Phone model: Pixel 6
• Bulleted list itemOS: Android 14, and I've had this issue on 12 and 13 as well
• App: Firefox for Android, and I'm having the same issue on Nightly as well
• App version: The latest (119.1.1), and I've had this issue for at least a year. I started using firefox for watching YouTube since the extensions were available on Nightly version under some settings and special extensions lists.
• Extensions: uBlock Origin and Video Background Play Fix

I'm facing problem when I try to run videos when using my wireless headphones (Sony wh1000-xm5 if name required) I had the same issue on my previous phone as well (Both phone models- Xiaomi poco F1 and F5 )

Are there any fixed to this?
