Firefox for Android intermittently gets stuck in landscape orientation after the app has been in the background and is resumed.
This does not happen every time, but occurs frequently enough to be noticeable during normal daily use.
Once stuck, the orientation does not recover automatically.
Note:
Happens only after switching to another app and returning later
Does not happen on fresh app launch
System auto-rotate continues to work in other apps
Sensors appear to work correctly
Recovery
The only reliable way to recover is:
Force closing Firefox from Recents
Reopening the app
Device: Samsung Galaxy S25
OS: Android 16
One UI: 8
Firefox version : latest as on playstore
Navigation: Gesture navigation
Auto-rotate enabled system-wide
