I don't have an HTC One V, but I tried to reproduce this on my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4 and could not. When this happens, can you attach a log-cat from your device to this bug? To me this sounds like Android merely decided to kill Firefox on your device as it was low on available resources for another task.

If you are dropping off or on wireless or changing from 3g to 4g. We have a known issue that is fixed in Firefox nightly 36 and aurora 35. Would you try one of those builds, ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-android/fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk

ANR in tunein.player


after everything else dies, eventually firefox
