Browser freezes when switching between apps.
Hello, henever I tap a link that subsequently opens to an app of some sort, say for instance YouTube, and then come back to Firefox, Firefox will become completely unresponsive.
I can get it working again if I gesture into my open apps and "refresh" Firefox by opening it again. This happens frequently and is quite annoying.
Any suggestions or is this a reoccurring issue?

@sora434, check the setup of Android Settings > Apps > Firefox > App Info > Battery usage.
@willjoe24421, it's impossible to do any of these steps in Firefox for Android.

Are you saying i should set it to unrestricted?
Yes, but for some people also "kill app after 10 mins of inactivity" also works.

I did this and I'm still having these freezes, I'm getting them less often but it's still happening.
Hi
I am sorry to hear that Firefox for Android is crashing. I hope that we can help resolve this for you. Before following the steps below, please make sure that you have updated both your Android device and Firefox for Android to the latest versions available.
As a first step, close down many of the tabs that you have open to as few as possible. Does this help reduce the incidence of a crash?
If this does not resolve the issue, open the Android Settings app, select Applications then find Firefox in the list. In the section headed "Storage", selct the option to clear the cache (do not clear data!). Does this help?
Failing that, our developers will need to look into this in more detail with some logs from inside your copy of Firefox for Android. Type about:crashes in the address bar which will display information about recent crashes. If you select the most recent "Socorro" link, a crash report will open in a new tab. If you could copy and paste the address of the page that opens into a reply to this thread, we will be able to look into this further for you.
I hope that this helps.
