My phone is a bit old (Pixel 4a) but it drives me crazy that so many times I type something into Firefox and it just shows a blank screen. Then I have to restart the app or open a new tap and type again. Feel it happens at least 20% of the time. No idea why and its not an internet issue. There is no loading. There is nothing.
- ptrrrrrrppr 3y agoHave the exact same issue on my 1+
- Sakos 3y agoBeen getting that too. No idea why. Interestingly, I've experienced it a handful of times on desktop too. 99% of the time it's the Android app doing it though.
- skullone 3y agoMy pixel5 is doing good with Firefox. I credit as blockers for keeping the browser performant
- treetalker 3y agoRespectfully: doing well.
- raybb 3y agoYeah the blockers are awesome. Also having a few greasemonkey scripts to automate login on a few pages that require too many clicks.
- SoKamil 3y agoTry clean install. Maybe extensions and userscripts are messing with you.
- raybb 3y agoI've tried a few times and tried FF beta but no difference.
- Murfalo 3y agoI have the same issue quite frequently... If I knew any decent alternative with uBlock (or equivalent) I'd switch on the spot! On a Pixel 6.
- cycomanic 3y agoI used to have this issue on nightly (not annoying enough to make me consider switching though), but it dissappeared several months ago, haven't seen it since. Are you sure it's still happening
- dingusdew 3y agoIn my experience, this only happens when I type in a new address in a tab that is already open with a different website. When I try to navigate somewhere else, it hangs, looks like it's loading, but gets... stuck? However, always works with new tab. Also on Pixel 4a. It's not that old, jesus.
- ivanjermakov 3y agoIs it possible to dump logs and about:support to create a bug ticket? I'm sure this will be looked at pretty quickly. Tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home
- Borgz 3y agoHow do you dump logs?
- ivanjermakov 3y agoLooks like you can profile it with remote debugging: https://youtu.be/TxAlQBv6-yg?si=M3oqdmr9fitPnf9t https://youtu.be/TxAlQBv6-yg?si=M3oqdmr9fitPnf9t.
- neoromantique 3y agoOddly enough I had same experience on an iPhone too, despite it only being an interface wrapper over safari
- sphars 3y agoI had the same problem on my 4a. I've since upgraded to a Pixel 8, and I still have the blank screen problem. Notably with a PWA, has to be killed and restarted. This is on Fennec (so FF dev basically). Annoys so much, chromium-based browsers don't have any issue.
- Jap2-0 3y agoI have not seen this problem on my 4a.
- andwaal 3y agoSame issue for years, fist on a huawai p30 and now in the Samsung s21. Been so long now that I have accepted it as a feature.
- dmacvicar 3y agoI haven't seen this problem on a Pixel 4a running Calyxos.
- JadeNB 3y agoI had this happen repeatedly but relatively rarely on a Galaxy A51, and now on a Galaxy A54. I don't browse on my phone much, but it felt like much less than 20% of the time. At least, it was rare enough that I'd always forget it happened until it smacked me in the face again.
- flas9sd 3y agodo you still actively see this or is it a behaviour that occured a few months ago? I remember https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1840665 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1840665
- fburnaby 3y agoThis also happens to me in Chrome on Pixel 4a.
