Firefox for Android v34 and v35 are crashing immediately on second opening in Samsung KNOX 2.0 and above.

Within a proof of concept situation we figured out that only freshly installed Firefox versions (v34 and v35) are running fine in a Samsung KNOX container. We are running Android 4.4.2 with KNOX 2.1 on a Samsung S5 device. We are using MobileIron 7.5 for provisioning the devices and configuring the container.
The behavior is as follows:
1. Open KNOX container
2. Open Firefox within the container
3. Everything works fine without any problems (expected behavior). Intranet and Internet sites can be opened without any limitations.
4. Close Firefox completely (by multitasking screen)
5. Open Firefox again
6. Firefox crashes without any error message
After setting Firefox to factory settings by deleting all app data (with "System Info for Android" App because the "original" app setting is not available within the container) Firefox behaves like described under 3.
Unfortunately I do only have adb logs because the original Firefox logs can't be exported via USB out of the KNOX container as far as I know. If you have any ideas I would be really thankful for any advice. "about:crashes" can't be used as well because Firefox can't be opened after the first crash and has to be reset (including deleting all logs) by setting it to default.
Outside the KNOX container Firefox works well.
It seems that all KNOX 2.0 and above versions show the same behavior with Firefox which means that Firefox can't be used in a KNOX 2.x container.
We already opened a case at Samsung as well.

  • 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.

  • Firefox for android keeps crashing

    On my Motorola RAZR HD Firefox keeps crashing on certain websites, such as nytimes.com and www.debka.com. It just suddenly and unexpectedly goes back to home screen. and when I restart Firefox it goes to home screen, no memory of where it was. What can I do to stop this?

    Hi jersul:
    Please provide the following information so we can help you:
    # Are you using Firefox for android 36.0.0? We just released an update, please upgrade to Firefox for Android 36.0.1 and let us know if that helps!

  • Firefox for Android, Adobe Flash Player, and Samsung KNOX conflict.

    Hello.
    I have a Galaxy Note 3. If I go to youtube.com in Firefox, play a video, and click on fullscreen, Firefox will crash and a notification will come up with title "Prevention information" and description "An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system...". This notification is generated by "Knox Notification Manager", an app that comes preinstalled.
    I know this problem is probably not exactly Firefox's fault, however some of other browsers are able to handle the exact same situation without any problem. Can you fix this problem, or is there a configuration that I can do to fix this?
    My system info:
    Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (T-Mobile)
    OS: Android 4.3
    Adobe Flash Player ver. 11.1.115.81
    Firefox for Android ver. 26.0.1

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

  • How do I get Firefox for Android to download and install?

    I had Firefox installed on my Android tablet, an Asus TF300T. I was notified there was an update so I clicked to let in install. I avoid auto updates as I need to use a website that is always a couple of versions behind in compatibility. Well, the update would not download and I tried several times. It just seems to time out (error 495 is reported). I tried uninstalling Firefox to attempt a fresh install. This has worked with other apps that were being difficult when installing updates. Now I still can't get Firefox for Android to complete a download in order to get it installed. What's the deal with this latest version? I'd like to get Firefox back on my tablet but the options are extremely limited and frankly the amount of help on the website is also extremely limited. Any help would be appreciated.

    From where you try to download Firefox for Android?
    Download it from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox here]

  • Firefox for android doesn't load all my passwords and corrupts bookmarks

    Firefox for Android doesn't load all my passwords on my tablet (Lenovo).
    Also, syncing corrupts my bookmarks on my desktop and laptop by inserting bookmarks which I have deleted days ago..
    It syncs through all three devices and I know that it syncs because when I sync from my desktop, all three devices have the same time-stamp of when they synced.
    It seems as though, if you have two usernames/passwords for the same login address, such as 2 Gmails - there is no dropdown which shows both emails/passwords from which to choose from.
    This is all very frustrating, especially when I'm out and only have my tablet and I need to login somewhere when I'm with a client, and I can't login because Firefox/Android doesn't show my login info or the bookmark that I need is not there, because my bookmarks are corrupted after a sync.
    I have lost clients because of this.

    Hi modularbase.
    I understand that there are some issues with sync between three devices. Specifically, there is an issue with corrupt bookmarks and passwords that are not stored.
    Please make sure these settings are set:
    * [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]] * [[Usernames and passwords are not saved]]
    * [[Using Master Password on Firefox for Android]]- the password manager addon for mobile devices may benefit in this situation.
    However on mobile, specifically for Gmail signin, accounts.google.com can store a few mail accounts, however you would have to add an account by clicking on "Sign in with a different account". In Firefox, passwords are stored by website in the password manager.

  • Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

    I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
    Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
    My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
    There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • 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: cannot locate server and the URL trying to reach includes a colon character

    Trying to reach a URL like this: http://myserver123:1009/home.aspx
    I've already disabled the firefox adding the "www" and ".com" to the URL which was definitely an issue originally, but it still does not resolve properly.
    The error page says:
    "Server not found. Firefox cannot find the server at myserver123"
    It seems Firefox is stopping at the colon character in the URL, thus not resolving to the page.
    Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi LI_NY_1
    On my Nexus 6, running Lollipop and FF 37.0.1 I have no problem reaching urls like:
    http://rt-mba11:8080/index.html
    Are you sure you have your webserver for myserver123 configured correctly?
    If you could give me the URL of your webserver I can try to see if I can reproduce this problem; my guess is this is a webserver config issue and not a Firefox for Android issue but of course I could be wrong!

  • Firefox for Android 29 and Beta 29 loss all tabs after close.

    I recently. Upgraded to the new Firefox for android and all of my tabs disappeared which was unexpected, but alright. What is not alright though is that after I fixed the tabs I wanted they disappeared again when I closed the browser. I have it set to restore tabs, but it only does so 1 or 2 times out of 10 and never when I restart my phone. How can I fix this? It's just plain annoying! I never had this issue with 28!

    Hi Kelcy R. Lemme
    Just tested this on my Galaxy S5 and tabs are restored properly for me if you set: Firefox Menu -> Settings -> Customize -> Tabs to 'Always restore'
    Please let us know
    1. Your model number and brand of your phone or tablet (e.g. Galaxy S4, HTC One, etc)
    2. You Android Operating System Version e.g. kitkat 4.4, jellybean 4.3, etc
    3. What add-ons (Firefox Menu -> Tools -> Add-ons) if you any you have installed and if you tried uninstalling those add-ons.
    3. What you did, what you expected and what happened

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...
