1496556 - Firefox Nightly crashing too often when in background

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1489953

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Kaartic Sivaraam]

For some time now Firefox Nightly 64.0a1 seems to be crashing too often especially when it's in the background (which is very surprising!). I say when it's background as I see the Firefox crash window a lot of times when I unlock my device. I don't remember leaving it open when I locked my device. I'm not sure what's causing it to crash. FWIW, I've sent the crash reports all the time not sure how to get links to them. I'm providing some info below, let me know if more info is required. (It even crashed just now in the mean time I was typing this bug report! see the frequency).

Environment details:
Android: 5.1.1
Device: Samsung Galaxy J1 ace
Device language: English

User Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Android 5.1.1; Mobile; rv:64.0) Gecko/64.0 Firefox/64.0

Just for the sake of clarification, the crash was on my mobile while I was typing the bug report on my laptop.
