Hi,
I was not able to reproduce the issue. Could you give us more details about the issue, like: other steps you took that might be relevant, installed add-ons, when this crash started happening?
Also, please clear the app's data and check if the crash continues to occur with a clean profile.
Thank you!

having root first thing I do before submitting a crash is to wipe app data and see if the user problem persist and yesss with a clean profile issue is there, to trigger the crash I do not do anything fancy but simply visiting Facebook
I do not know when issue stated as I moved away from Firefox at version 58 as I didn't see any promised speed improvement from quantum thing like stylo and web render I sometimes update the app and see if thing are getting better and sadly no...

[triage] This crash has only one report: P5.

Hey Alessandro. It appears that you're the only reporter for this crash so I'm guessing something with your device configuration may be causing Firefox to crash, particularly as a root user. Perhaps some important Android permissions are revoked (storage?) or disk file permissions?

Unfortunately, most of the performance improvements for Quantum didn't make it into the Android product due to a split in our code base between mobile and desktop. We're working on integrating the performance updates on Android so I hope you'll stay tuned and check it out when we release it! :)

believe I do not want to be rude but this explanation only make me laugh maybe the only user reporting this crash because nobody else use Firefox on mobile and by the way every permission is granted.
I m glad I switched to yandex Browser on Android it s based on Chromium and also support Chrome web store extensions for example I can use last pass with it while in Firefox for Android the web extension won't let me sign in
I m really glad I made bad review about Firefox and I ll keep doing it it's 2018 and is really changed for firefox on Android SHAME.

Firefox 60 still has the same issue. A work-around is to turn off GPU acceleration according a user who's been suffering from this issue since 59 nightly. 

He has this issue on multiple devices with 3 different GPUs;  Adreno 510,  Kirin 950 AP, Adreno 418
