Hi Ricky,

This sounds like Bug 1220847, which we're actively investigating. Other apps seem to hit this too, but we don't know exactly why.

Do you know any sites in particular that you visit before this problem starts happening? Do you have many tabs open?

We suspect this is due to large images that the OS is caching — that you're seeing the Apple splash screen is because `backboardd`, a system app, crashes, rather than Firefox itself.

After the restart, if I double push the iPad home button l see Firefox as one of the pages. It is on yuneek.com store locator. If I tap the visible page, I goes through the reboot.

Ipad Air here and it does the same thing from when I launch it. Doesn't give me an opportunity to do anything. Any update because I'm about to uninstall it and be done with the aggregation.

The next release should fix this bug.

I have the same problem on my iPad Air 2. I was on wordplays.com; couldn't even finish entering a word and it crashed.
