Firefox Lite uses your phone's default WebView to show web pages. Do you reproduce this issue in the built-in browser (which should be Chrome for any reasonably up-to-date Android) ? It might even be the exact bug from the old Chrome if you have an old phone, but more likely it's just resource exhaustion.

I don't have the default browser in my device neither I can install it. In India, the application is banned. So, I don't have it in my device.

Sir,
Yes, correct. It is causing crash in the default browser (Chrome), just confirmed.

Since you took this testcase from a Chrome bug there's no point reporting it to Google, but you should report it to your phone vendor so they can fix the version of Android they are shipping. You may wish to switch to "Firefox for Android" which contains it's own browser engine and will get security updates even if your phone does not.

THis is not a bug we can fix.
