iOS 14.5.1, iPhone 8, Firefox update 11/7/21. I have 70 tabs open in Firefox. After the latest update, when I open it, nothing on the page works. When I long-press the Firefox icon, select new tab or new private tab, I can enter a URL which is then opened, but then nothing works. It's frozen. Long-press and open last bookmark loads the page, but again, frozen. Actually, it did work once after the update, until I went into settings and told it to open last tab instead of a new one...
