I have firefox running 24/7 on a online radio station that broadcasts 24/7. My internet connection is unlimited and plenty fast enough. Why does Firefox crash at about the same time every night?

Hi

One thing I can think of is that the amount of content that Firefox for Android accrues over that time in its browsing cache (a background store of stuff that you have seen or visited) gets a bit too full.

The only other thing I can think of is that your internet service provider runs some kind of reset at that time every night (they should be able to confirm that).

I hope this helps.
