Woke up today and ipad crashes each time i try to go to a webpage in Firefox. Worked fine last night. ios14.1, can’t upgrade this ipad now. Have deleted and re-installed Firefox multiple times, rebooted ipad, can’t even access Troubleshoot mode bc it immediately crashes and closes Firefox. Please help.

Ever since the new update my Firefox has deleted all my tabs and won’t let me open any urls. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no changes. The only solution I’ve seen that could work would be sending my log report, yet haven’t found anywhere to post said log. Overall I’m lost at where to solve my problem with my app crashing. For context I’m using an iPhone that’s currently running iOS 14.

Hi everyone,

yesterday I updated the Firefox app on my iPhone and since then it started to close on its own after a few seconds since I start to use it.

I am using an iPhone 13 and the Firefox version installed is 110.2. The behavior is the same as if I would close the app with a gesture (by swiping up the little bar at the bottom of the screen when the app is open). In fact the app is still running in the background, but won't stay open to use it.

Thanks for the support!

I’d like to start off by saying that I’ve been a Firefox user for you know probably a couple decades anyway. Today Mar7 whenever I clicked on the link in Apple Mail Firefox tried to launch the site and it crashed. I tried it multiple times, different emails, same result. I tried restarting, this is also on my iPad so it’s iOS only. (No problem on my desktop) and it just keeps crashing when I have tried turning my VPN off and turn it on and restarting in pretty much everything I know to do so like I deleted it which I really don’t wanna didn’t want to do but I didn’t see any other solution. so HELP

So on my main firefox account the app crashes after a few mins consistently, on my phone and Tablet.

However I recently made a different account using a different email adress and zero crashes.

Is it likely to be a settings issue?

Hey there!

Below is the crash log I pulled from the Android app, which wasn't letting me open a Microsoft Forms link.

Any ideas what's causing the crashes?

Thanks in advance!

I used to have loads of inactive tabs and usually around 9-10 active taps and sometimes 30 tabs in total and it was all good.

Start with (I think) version 109 it when I have around 9-10 tabs (no inactive) the firefox automatically closes itself right after I start it.

Doesn't leave me any chance to even close tabs or do anything.

I tried: force stop then clear cache and still happens.

If on top of those above I also do clear recent apps, it might work.

I noticed it would work if it doesn't have the thumbnails of tabs which might imply that when it doesn't have other tabs cached it works fine.

I'm not entirely sure what happened but I know earlier this year in as recent as July Firefox was working fine. I don't know if it was an update or what it was but now Firefox is consistently crashing multiple times a day.

There's never an error code but one of a few things happens:

• The entire application will freeze and not let me control Firefox at all. I need to launch Task Manager to close the browser and then sometimes reset my computer to ensure it doesn't happen again.
• With the most recent update, some of my emails on GMail (not all just some random ones) will not load in any capacity.
• The browser will flicker white and will hide the top bar of the application so I can't close it without task manager.
• The application will slow down and then crash with a "Do you want to send this report to Mozilla?" and I always click yes.

I have tried disabling and removing all extensions, I've tried firewall stuff, I've tried everything I can find but the browser is only getting worse in my experience. With this last update everything loads a few seconds slower than usual as well.

Is there a solution I am missing or am I doing something wrong? I am very very close to switching browsers but I'd rather not if there is a fix.

Especially for some sites, such as the Washington Post, when attempting to clear Focus by tapping the trash can, Focus freezes, then (both) the iPad or iPhone go black with a small spinning circle, rebooting to iPad's/iPhone's entry screen. This started happening recently, in early 2023, after updating iOS. Very very very (did I say "very"?) annoying. If this is not a current Focus bug report, it should be.

When using android 12 Firefox on Nokia g60 the browser hangs and locks up phone. Does not happen immediately but after a few mins. https://standingstones.org/viewer.html?tour=-1

Hi,

My apps are automatically updating so I cannot tell what triggered these crashes. But Firefox now crashes continuously, as soon as I start the app.

I am running an up to date iOS 15.6 on iPhone XS.

It is impossible to use Firefox on my iPhone, not even for one second.

I hope you can fix this.

I posted a review on the iOS market and received an email asking to post on this forum.

Firefox freezes several times an hour. It crashes every three hours. I installed the Adblock Pro extension (free version). Maybe it’s related but I have not noticed anything related to the extension. Safari doesn’t crash and uses the same extension.

The only point to use Firefox on iOS is the password manager and dark mode. Printing is inferior because it forces pagination.

These are the issues I am experiencing:

1. Numbered list item The browsing is slow
2. Numbered list item The rendering is incorrect on some pages with garbled text/diagram
3. Numbered list item The browser crashes when I click on a link

So usually ill be playing a youtube video, and eventually the frames will stop and then firefox will crash, with the

Sorry Firefox crashed error

Now i just got a new Tablet my partner was using with no crashes and im crashing on that too, so it could be an account issue?

Already tried clearing cache and data and having no Addons Any help would be appreciated :)

As of this morning Firefox crashes on start up on both my iPad and my iPhone, both running on iOS 16.2. On the iPhone no messages are shown, it simply crashes. On the iPad however a message is shown that Firefox seems to have crashed and I'm asked whether I want to restore tabs. Choosing either 'yes' or 'no' results in starting up Firefox and crashing again with the same message/question as a result.

I have removed and reinstalled Firefox on my iPad. It did start up and I was able to sign in with my account. However, when I wanted to use Firefox again, crashing on start up was there again.

I have included a crash report from my iPhone.
