Found 2 users experiencing non-stop startup crashes:

^ After deleting+reinstalling Fx, startup crash gone! But all personal data lost

^ Reinstalled 4 times, crash still persisted. Probably b/c of personal data

"Last night I updated Firefox to 8.0 on my Gen3 iPad running iOS 10.3.2.

I ran Firefox Sync (bookmarks only) and after that it would immediately crash. Reinstalling doesn't seem to help. It'll be stable until I run the sync again, then it's back to the instant crashing. I've hard reset the iPad as well.

I can get through the Firefox sign in, acknowledge the sign in via the email link. It's still stable after sign-in.

When I actually sync it....it starts syncing and after a minute it'll crash without me touching anything else. Now upon launch it'll pop up the embarrassing crash message for about 5 seconds and crash again, without me touching.

Update: The app updated again this morning to 8.0.1. I was hoping this would address the crashing so I went ahead and synced. Right back to crashville."

We are testing and submitting 8.1 which is primarily a stability release to address quality issues in 8.0.

There's nothing actionable from this bug.

If all of these are syncing, then it's probably the bookmark validation reporting.
