Firefox for iOS Support Forum

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

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.

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.

I have a iPhone 13 running iOS 16.2. I have Firefox 108.1 running on it. Yesterday it starts to crash on launch. Can’t even get to troubleshooting. Immediately shuts down. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Tried turning off sync still crashes. Any ideas would be appreciated

It just. Keeps. Crashing. It won’t stop. And this started recently all of a sudden. It happens every time a new tab has opened. It doesn’t do this for private browsing tabs. I’m on iOS 16.1.2. I think I’m on the latest update of Firefox.

Hello as I mention in topic. I have the Firefox app. And I use Firefox on my desktop. I sync my bookmarks to my app. When I click on desktop bookmark in the Firefox app. The app keeps on crashing I don’t even have a chance to click on a bookmark. It just crashes. Not sure why. Please help. Thank you

My Firefox crash on my iPhone (IOS 16.2) since 108 update BUT ONLY when I connect/sync to my account (if I don't try to connect to account it works fine, but its then quite useless). Each time I reconnect =) CRASH (pop up says "hum firefox as crashed. do you want to reopen? I click ok = it recrashes again and again) I'm getting to you as I've tried ALL solving problem issues I could find but none seems to work. Basically I have: - Desinstalled and reinstalled the App (from store or link) 10 times already. - “Repaired” my Firefox account on PC in case it had someting to do with it. - Posted the issue on Apple IOS support which answered that if it runs ok on Mac PC then pbm come from Mozilla not IOS. - Posted the issue on French Mozilla support 5 days ago and get no answer NOTHING works and I can not get a crash report as FIrefox is not accessible once it has crashed right? Can any one help please? Thanks

iPad Air 4th gen running most recent iPad OS and Firefox is crashing on load. I have already tried restarting the iPad and reinstalling the app. Please advise. Thank you.

I do get a “Well this is embarrassing…” dialogue box for after crashing, but the app doesn’t run long enough for me to tap on anything.

Aside from poor performance and often inability to load web pages, will Firefox ever work reasonably on iOS? I just "upgraded" to 108, and it immediately broke. Opening to homepage resulted in instant crash. Have seen this behavior on earlier versions when accessing history, bookmarks, etc., but now it's homepage. I.e., the browser is absolutely useless unless opened directly from some other app. Since this happens so often, I'm thinking that "upgrades" should be avoided. This time, I had to delete the app and re-install it, which lost all bookmarks, etc., and it still crashed numerous times when trying to access bookmarks and some of settings. This is a most annoying and unsatisfactory app, and I don't want to spend my time trying to make it work. BTW, I'm writing this from Ubuntu, so that at least I can enter the complaint.

Every time I open the current Firefox app it immediately opens and crashes. This starting happening a few days ago randomly but now happens all the time. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn’t help. Also restarted the iPhone 13 too. Suggestions? Thanks.

iOS Firefox 106.2 (21661) crashes when I attempt to open Bookmarks on my iPhone 14 Pro 16.1.1 ; otherwise seems to work fine.

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the Firefox app and removed / replaced all bookmarks within the app via sync – to no avail.

Please help!

Hi
