(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

Currently on my iPad Air the splash screen is always shown even pressing the home-button and tapping the icon again. This is not reproducible on my iPhone.

Oddly the one case this seems fine is switching between applications in the running application list. Accessing Firefox from icon on the iPad Home Screen always displays a splash even if it's running.

Still see this on recent builds

I'm not seeing this on any devices except for the iPad Air which I see infrequently. I vote that we take this off tracking+ unless it's still causing frequent issues.

Will reopen if this becomes a problem.

This is still reproducible on my iPad Air. We can leave this open.

This doesn't seem actionable right now. And it won't block ship.

Seeing this also on a brand new (8.4) iPad Air 2. The time it takes to restore the application from the homescreen (bug 1172694) and see the splash (this bug) is quite slow in comparison to other apps.

Closing this as it as an old OOM bug.
