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.

1. Whenever you login a site, Firefox does not remember the cookies from the login. So when you close the app and open it later, so you need to login again.

1. Firefox crashes a lot since iOS 16 and now too on 16.1, and now also since the release iPadOS 16.1. This makes the app difficult to use and really bad.

Both are very frustrating and important issue, please fix it!

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

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

These "crashes" aren't in the Report, so I'm not sure what to do. I've pressed Quit, I've cleared the Cache (twice), and I've deleted and reinstalled the app. Firefox was working just fine until recently. These crashes only to seemingly happen on YouTube and Tumblr. It closes worse when I have the YouYube in Background Add-on on, but it isn't just because of that. If anyone knows how to fix this, feel free to answer.

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.
