Android app freezes and restarts the device
After a variable time-frame, from few minutes to a couple of hours maximum of usage, the app freezes.
It is possible to close it from the drawer and restart it after a while. The problem always recurs.
Sometimes the phone also reboots itself. Approximately once every 5/10 freezes.
The problem does not seems dependent on updates, add-ons or other phone options.
The problem is present since I bought the phone in August. After a few months of tests I'm fairly sure this is a problem related only to the Firefox app.

Hi
I strongly recommend that you open the Android Settings app, select Applications and clear the cache (not data) from the other apps on your Android device - not just Firefox.
Does this help?
I tried again to clear the cache from all installed apps.
There is no significant difference. After 1 hour of using the browser it crashed again.
If you type about:crashes into the address bar, a page should open.
Please can you select the most recent Socorro link and copy and paste the address of the page into a reply to this thread.
from the about:crashes page there is only one entry, I replicated the freeze and copied it:

Hi
Please can you supply the address of the website that opens when you view that crash report.
The page has no accessible menu, including the URL bar. Long press and other inputs do not open any menu. (See attached screenshot)
The only interaction is a "Share" link with the code pasted above.
If I try to share the content with Firefox I'm redirected to this page:
http://org.mozilla.gecko.surfaceviewwrapper.issurfaceabandoned(android.view.surface)/
which does not exist.
I'm not sure if this is the information you were looking for.
There is no Socorro link..?
What I see is the screenshot I shared in the previous post.
Trying to find out what this Socorro link is and should look like I stumbled upon this thread on GitHub .
If I got it correctly, this link is generated only if you are prompted to send a message to Firefox after a crash and press that button. If I try to test with about:crashparent I see a message that never appeared on my device. After Firefox freezes I get the standard android message to wait or close the application or the system restarts.
Could the missing Socorro link courses by the absence of a Firefox report prompt?
