Android crashes when a download is complete
Whenever i have tried downloading anything from firefox, it crashes the system and the boot logo appears. These crashes also take a lot of time to recover from. My phone is vivo s1 pro and its running android 12.

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, 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.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately,
Both android and firefox are latest versions. Closing all tabs, with 1 remaining tab open yields the same result and does not reduce the indcidence of a crash. I have tried both clear cache and clear data but it was meaningless. It also does not generate any crash reports since it crashes android system/ui.
- Update the Firefox app: Make sure that you are using the latest version of the Firefox app. Mozilla regularly releases updates that include bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Disable extensions: If you are using any extensions in Firefox, try disabling them to see if that resolves the problem. Some extensions may conflict with the download process and cause the app to crash.
- Clear the Firefox cache and cookies: This can help to remove any corrupted files or data that may be causing the problem. To do this, go to Firefox > Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Browsing Data.
- Reset Firefox to its default settings: If you have tried all of the above and the problem persists, you can try resetting Firefox to its default settings. This will erase all of your personal settings and data, so make sure to back up anything important before doing this. To reset Firefox, go to Firefox > Settings > Help & Support > More Information > Troubleshoot > Refresh Firefox.
Okay, i have done a reinstallation of the app after trying with clear data. Even after the clean installation, its still crashing android. Edit Android version 12 Firefox version 119.1.1

What other apps have you installed on your Android device?
Are you installing Firefox for Android from the Google Play store?
Quite a lot of apps, should be around 50. Yes, the firefox app is from google playstore. I'm sorry for the late response.
