Firefox for Android crashes often for me, I believe its because my tablet has a low amount of RAM.

I have a low-end tablet that (despite having 8GB of storage), only has 512MB of memory/RAM. I've already encountered a few games that won't run because of this limitation. Up until now, it was things I could live without. But I get frequent Firefox crashes and I believe it may be due to this same issue...insufficient memory. When Firefox crashes, I notice I have very little free RAM. I've gotten into the habit of force closing everything before I use Firefox, but this doesn't guarantee Firefox won't still crash. And by crash, I mean the application just spontaneously quits and drops me back at the home screen. I used to use AdBlock Plus, but I removed it to reduce Firefox's memory footprint size. I was wondering if anyone had any other tips or tricks to either reduce the amount of memory Firefox is using or to free up more memory on my system. In case it matters, my tablet is a Digiland DL701Q which runs 4.4.

Please don't link to third party apps. The one you suggested does not seem trustworthy.

  • Is there an update for Android 2.2 for the HP C510a Zeen tablet?

    Is there an update for Android 2.2 for the HP C510a Zeen tablet to any recent version of Android 4.0 or 4.1?

    Unfortunately not. The Zeen tablet runs a modified version of Android made specifically for that printer. There may be a firmware update available for your printer, but there is no way to update the Android OS on the device.

  • Firefox for Android crashing while loading website

    Hello all.
    I've purchased an Android 4.0 smartphone recently - LG L5.
    I then installed the Firefox version for Android and tried to access a webpage I've been building. Though when it's still loading, Firefox crashes.
    After browsing some related articles, I installed Firefox Nightly and the issue persists.
    What is exactly causing it to crash? Other webpages work just fine. Thanks in advance.

  • Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

    I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
    Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

  • Firefox for Android crashes on all three of my Sony Xperia V's (LT25i), usually when a page contains one or more embedded videos or Flash animations.

    I have three Sony Xperia V (LT25i) phones, all of which are running the latest Android firmware version (for that model (9.2.A.2.5) to date. Since I had been using Firefox since 2007, I tried numerous times to run Firefox on all three with limited success. The browser crashes whenever I load a page that had embedded videos or any other form of animation. The issue was so frustrating that it caused me to stop using Firefox altogether and switch to Chrome, which is in no way nearly as sophisticated, streamlined and feature-rich as my formerly-beloved Firefox - a situation which I would very much like to reverse. Thanks.

    Oh, there are too many to list - basically any page that's even slightly heavy-handed with videos and/or animation.
    For the record, I managed to ''somewhat'' alleviate the issue by uninstalling Adblock Plus, but I haven't yet done enough testing to verify that Adblock Plus ''actually was'' the root cause of the problem. However, that didn't solve the issue of the text on any page flickering at five-second intervals, which makes reading longer articles a very annoying and unpleasant experience.

  • Firefox 34 for Android crashes constantly

    FF 34 for android won't stay open for longer than a minute on my Nook HD+ since the update of 12/2/14. I am very disappointed since each new update seems to cause more problems than it claims to have fixed.

    Sorry for that, Are you facing this issue with particular website or all the website?
    Please make sure, your downloading from Mozilla Official website or from Google Play Store.
    Try with Firefox Beta

    Would you type about:crashes in the address bar and check for any crash IDs.?
    If there are any long press on them and choose 'share' or 'copy link', use email and send the link to yourself so you don't need to manually type in the numbers and letters..

  • Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often

    Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks

    Safe mode did not help.
    I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
    I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem.

  • Updated to ios 6 and now when i go to the app store and try to check out my purchased it try to load the information but after about 20-25 seconds nothing loads and the app crashes. Im not sure if its because i have at least 600 apps in the cloud.

  • Firefox for Android crashes on open after 34.0.1 update

    "Unfortunately, Firefox has stopped" message comes up after installing 34.0.1. App is unusable. I have rolled back to the previous version for now.
    I have 2 phones this is happening on, both Galaxy S 4, stock running 4.4.4.
    Tried:(in this order)
    1-clear cache
    2-clear data
    3-reboot and uninstall
    4-uninstall & download 34.0.1 from Mozilla website
    No luck..
    Anyone have any other ideas or seen this happening?

    HI artzmama,
    In order to better understand the issue, a little investigation will have to be done.
    *Are there any crash reports listed under the page about:crashes?
    *Do you have any addons or apps installed in Firefox? If so, please try to open it without these installed.

  • Firefox for android crashes every time I try to open it

    I am fairly new to fire fox but was really liking it on my new galaxy note 8 tablet. However it updated in the last couple of days and ever since then it won't open. I have not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling as I am not sure if that is the best course of action. I'd be grateful for any help! Thanks.

  • Flash sites crash Firefox. No Crash Reporter for Mozilla.

    Any site that uses Flash makes Firefox quit. I get a window that says upon reopening Firefox, a report will be sent to Apple. I need the report to go to Mozilla.
    I have a Mac running the latest software and everything else is up to date.
