Firefox for android crashes on startup since lollipop update

Everytime I start up Firefox on my Verizon HTC ONE M8 since the lollipop update, it crashes after about a second or two. I am using the latest version of Firefox on the Play Store, and the behavior persists even after uninstalling Firefox and doing a clean install.

hi guigs2, this is landing into a 36.0.2 release that will go live later today

How to stop Firefox for Androids crashing on my Kindle Fire.

Installed OK but when I open, opening page appears, lasts ~5 seconds, then disappears. How can I stop this?

Firefox for Android is known to crash on the Kindle HD. We have a development version that should resolve the crash at http://nightly.mozilla.org

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 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.

Firefox for android crashes

my tablet is a samsung galaxy tab 7 p1000 and i am dealing with a crashing browser when i visit www.in.gr . why ? total performance is also slow. . i am connecting to internet through wifi. .

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..

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 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.

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 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.

Spotify crashes a lot since Lollipop update

Hi,
I'm hoping this is a wider issue and not just my specific Nexus 5's problem to bear, however I couldn't see another recent thread...
My Spotify frequently just crashes. In addition to that, sometimes when I turn it on, the screen goes black (and you can see the green lines of the Spotify UI) however the text just won't load - for like 4 or 5 restarts of Spotify. Lastly, when it IS playing, sometimes it stutters, and you feel like it's close to crashing!
If anyone knows the solution, I'd be very grateful! I have a Nexus 5 running Lollipop... I didn't have these problems before the update, although I have had some overheating issues with the device in the past.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the same issue as above. I'm using a nexus 7 (2013) on lollipop and Spotify keeps crashing and stuttering when streaming. This occurs both on and offline. I have performed a clean uninstall (background folders and all) and it still hasn't solved the problem. Any help would be great thanks.

Hi, I'm also having the same problem but I'm using HTC one m7. My phone actually restarts or crashes completely when using spotify and this since I upgraded to lollipop. It gets quite annoying getting the phone to restart 2,3 or more times in a row even after waiting for the phone to fully load. I have checked and made sure that enough resources are available in case maybe they weren't. I shut down most apps that may be running in the background that aren't needed and still when I open spotify it crashes.I appreciate anyone knowing the solution to this or possible workaround if any or hope spotify knows what the problem is and releases an update soon fixing this issue
Hi both, have you tried the steps mentioned in the thread here: [PLEASE READ] Android 5.x Lollipop - Distorted playback, sound levels fluctuating or pauses etc...

How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening on startup since last update on Macintosh running Tiger?

Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

Firefox for android freezes immetiately after start since update to Android 4.2.2

Firefox for android freezes/crashes immediately after start since the automatic update to Android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus; sometimes it reports a crash without being started. Language is German; I've send several automatic crash reports; all available updates are installed. Other apps (google+, skype, TrustGo, Polaris Office 4 ...) started to crash as well after this android update. Please help or update Firefox.

hello emuller, you might have to clear the data & cache of the affected applications for them to work correctly on the new os version (this will reset firefox to the state after a fresh install).

Firefox for Android 31 crashes constantly

I recently reinstalled Android OS on my tablet. Android 4 ICS)
I reinstalled Firefox, and then went to EFF to install their extension. I the discovered I had Firefox 31, and had to settle for a beta version of EFF's add-on.
Firefox keeps crashing. The Android FAQ's are no longer kept up-to-date, and the section covering slowness, crashing etc is absent!
I really need to revert to version 30, only updating when EFF have caught up.

Hi!
I still don't know where to go to provide details of individual crashes in Firefox for Android.
Never mind. I decided to reinstall, so here's hoping it works better this time round. At least when I went to EFF I did not have to settle for the beta version of HTTPS Everywhere. The stock version installed straightaway with no dialogue box telling me my version of Firefox was incompatible.
Thanks anyway.
