Using Galaxy Nexus, installed update today. I have ICS version 4.0.1. Pages will not load at all. Even the firefox pages on the home page will not load. I verified with using both wifi and my network, and checked the stock browser from the phone which works, but no success with Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox, restarted my phone, re-installed, and the same issues are happening. Any idea how to get this back to normal?

Update..when I open firefox from scratch, the main firefox pages on the home page seem to work. But as soon as I try to go anywhere else, IE going to a website in the address bar or even trying to access the defauly bookmark links, it just sits there loading but never brings anything up.

I have this exact problem with ICS 4.0.4 on my Google Nexus S 4G (Sprint). Doesn't load anything, not even about:firefox. Don't think this release was tested at all.

It works fine on my friend's Google Nexus S (GSM on Tmobile). Build versions are identical.

Jsheehy, can you please add your findings to bug 769269

Can you please check to see wether you have the setting 'Don't keep the activities' enabled in Developer options in your Android settings? If so, please disable it and try Firefox again.

This setting should not be enabled.

That did the trick. Turned the setting off and it works perfectly now. Thanks a lot Aaron!

And I believe this setting you said to turn off fixed another issue I was having with a different app on my phone..I just tried it and it works properly, where beforehand it was giving the wrong location info every time. Thanks again!
