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

Wonder if you can give me some help please. I have been trying to log in to my talktalk e mils for a week now and all i get is a whirling circle on the middle of the computer screen. I am 79 yers old and not teccy min ded, so any advice would be of great assistance. Thank you.

I have Firefox (Beta) installed on a Samsung S8 Android, and its sole purpose in life is to display a live videostream (live TV program from https://canalcurta.tv.br/viainternet ).

The problem is that the internet link in/from Brazil is "variable", meaning the live stream will hang - sometimes for a few seconds, and sometimes "forever".

So I have two questions:

1) Is there a buffer setting for live streaming video. (It does not matter if the stream is 2 minutes late! ;) ) (I don't want to "load entire video before watching", only have a very large buffer for live videos.)

2) Is there a way to make Firefox auto-restart a video stream which has hung more than 1 minute (or whatever)?

Thank you very much! Your help is much appreciated! <3

When using Firefox on an iPhone 13 mini it keeps locking up stuck on a web page and nothing will clear it unless I reboot the iPhone the all ok it’s so bad now I can’t use Firefox as my default browser

When reading the site https://hellasjournal.com after a while Firefox freezes and crashes. It's not a site problem because with Chrome works fine.

Hi, I have the latest firefox on my Samsung A54 5G (and previously on my A71). I'll open firefox, do a few searches and eventually I'll do a search and firefox goes back to the last search results and does NOT show any links related to the new search. If I kill firefox and restart it, it works again. The problem is more irritating than it might sound because it seems to happen too frequently when I am trying to look something up - but when I try to reproduce the issue it's hard to reproduce. The key element may be that I need to have firefox open and idel for a while before the problem occurs. Any advice is welcome!

While searching for something in Google, and when I'm tapping on the suggested images with the search results, the page is freezing. That's happening everytime when searching something in Google. Note: I'm using the Google search fixer add-on.

I've been using Firefox for decades on all my devices and all my many Android phones. In the last 2 or 3 months Firefox (on my mobile only) randomly becomes completely unresponsive. All the tabs I have open are still visible but nothing moves, I can't change pages or make be searches. It's completely frozen. I tried closing the app, restarting the phone. The only thing that fixes it is to uninstall the app and reinstall it. That works for a few weeks until it freezes again.

I've now uninstalled it 3 times already. It's starting to get quite inconvenient. I have to use Chrome because Firefox won't work.

I have an Oppo A74 5G my operating system is always up to date and so are all my apps. Please fix this problem. Thank you

this happened only on my m1 iPad. firefox on my iPhone doesn't have this problem. 1.suddenly freezes up. need to relaunch the app. 2.sometimes lags and stutters when scrolling, switch tabs, and open settings. 3.sometimes it outright crashes after a very bad stuttering. this happened even when i only have couple of tabs opening.

i had tried everything i can think of with no success. 1.clear all browsing data. 2.delete and redownload the app(+delete firefox's folder in files app). 3.update iOS(both security patches and to next version).

the only thing i haven't tried is too factory reset the iPad. which i hope to avoid.

Dears,

Since a week of 2 Firefox freezes when I type text in the address bar. After some time the text I typed start appearing. Also websites loading are sometimes freezing. Switching to another app on the iPad makes Firefox unfreeze. However need to use the reload function. Version Firefox 106.2 (21661) iPad Pro (11-inch) iOS 15.7 I removed Firefox, rebooted the iPad and reinstalled Firefox. That shortly seem to help, but now same issues apparent.

Thanks and best regards,

Jelle Klaas

I did what you told me to resolve the problem. Didn't work! It's probably some barf sack of government shit creature stealing control over my machine, that I pay for, like the rest of these fuck from hell Canadian life stealing, life wrecking, life sucking Canadian intestinal worms I hate more than Satan hated Christ. That like stealing control on MY LIFE after I voted this country, government and people the fuck out of my life with their forced fuck from hell canadian citizenshit at the federal and provincial elections. Along with this shit world of shit people and it's faggit shit mutations that I want crucified. Just whose life is it anyway. Because it sure as to hell ain't mine.

I have been using Firefox on ios for a long time and recently have started to notice a couple of frustrating issues-

• When I try to click on the menu while the site is scrolling, the app freezes and the menu sometimes opens after several seconds.
• Refreshing the facebook page sometimes shows a login page even though I am logged in. If I just refresh the page without entry credentials, it takes me to the news feed. Happened for linkedin as well.

I’m using the latest version of the app and latest version of ios 16 Request you to please provide steps to resolve this (any settings change on phone or app)

Version: FF Android 101.2.0 (plus other version stuff I can provide if needed), Android 12 Hi there,

I wanted to report an issue I've been experiencing on a popular news site, which seems to have been ongoing for several months now. I'm not sure if anyone else has been having this problem or if it's just me, but I thought it was worth bringing up.

The website in question is . https://alightmotion.net/

My expected behavior when browsing this site is to be able to open links and download files in the background while continuing to browse. However, I've noticed a few issues:

After opening a few tabs, Firefox for Android will hang for almost 30 seconds before doing a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs. It then functions normally until I try to open another background tab from the same website. During the hang, the tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages themselves do not repaint, and no tap events work. When the hang time ends, the pages appear to redraw from scratch, and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of the tab I was looking at. This issue is 100% reproducible for me. Long-press fails when attempting to open the third background tab, but the repaint failure occurs earlier. There seems to be something toxic happening.

Interestingly, when I go back to my Android Home screen after experiencing this issue, there is a deep refresh/repaint, as if the phone has been swapped out or the garbage collector has run.

I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guest account on my phone, but the issue persists. I don't have any add-ons installed, and neither Chrome nor Firefox Desktop exhibit this behavior. It seems to be specific to Firefox for Android.

Thank you for your help!

This issue started earlier this month. Sometimes, when I click on the address bar to enter a new address or something like that, Firefox freezes and I have to restart it and after the restart it comes back to the page I was in like 10 minutes ago.

After the most recent update to version 106.1 on my iPhone 11 iOS 15.6.1, every time I open Firefox and open a new tab the browser is unresponsive for several seconds, then slowly registers my input in the search bar, and occasionally crashes during that process. It also hangs up and crashes at random. It will no longer open links to PDF files. I love Firefox, but this is becoming unusable.

I've been a long time Firefox (and Navigator before that) user in all platforms, so it's only natural I'm using it on mobile.

When visiting theguardian.com, firefox freezes, stops rendering and causes the whole phone to stutter.

Procedure: - visit theguardian.com - scroll the home page, open some news in tabs - try scrolling further down and/or switching to tabs with news

What happens: - guardian home page, as well as other pages stop rendering and are blank above and below the viewport (see attached screenshots includ9ng screenie of this page. yes, I'm writing this again, had to kill FF) - tabs with news don't render at all (are blank) - when minimizing firefox, whole phone stutters. - usually, after some minimizings and maximizings, firefox renders ONE news tab. - sometimes only killing FF helps

The phone is fairly recent with the latest Snapdragon 8 and 12 gigs of ram.

Yes, I disabled all plugins and cleared the cache and all data.

My phone is on Android 13 with the latest Firefox update. Under "Crashes" in Settings, there isn't much.

I am regularly getting crashes on Firefox When browsing using my iPhone 12 mini running on iOS 16. As soon as there is any sort of ‘heavier’ task, such as loading a PDF or browsing an online news site with loads of ads, the whole browser just freezes up and I can’t do anything unless I force close the browser via the multitasker.

It is happening multiple times per day.

What information can I provide to you to help troubleshoot this issue?

When I open a link within another app, like Facebook or Discord, it usually opens a version of Firefox inside that app, without all the full features. And that's fine, because usually I just want to read whatever it is quickly, and move on. However, I've noticed that if I change apps or let the screen time out when I have one of these links open, the screen will be black or blank when I open it again. I have to go back and click the link again to make it load. Refreshing doesn't work, and if I go to the menu and click "Open in Firefox" after this happens, that tab will never load. I have to copy the URL and open a new tab to load it.

Obviously, I can get around this by choosing the "Open in Firefox" option as soon as I load the page in the first place, but I don't really want to have to open a new tab in my browser every time I want to read a news article on FB or open a meme someone sent me. Overall, I really love Firefox, but this is a problem I didn't have with Chrome, and I'm not seeing anything in the settings to change it. Is this a common issue, and can it be fixed?
