tap on Fx icon to launch app after the last update
I cleared caches, force stop, reboot, etc.
I sent the crash report.
I uninstalled, then discovered that it is no longer available in the Play Store.

Actual results:

get a message like 'oh, it looks like we can't start'

Expected results:

the app should launch
It should be available for install in the Play Store.

Hi, :Justin, thanks for reporting.
Indeed, your issue seems to be a duplicate of #1835231 which at that time affected Nightly 115.0a1 from 5/26, Beta 114.0b8, Beta 114.0b9 and later RC 114.0.
Please note that the crash was fixed in the latest RC 114.1.0 release, available in PlayStore.
I can confirm that I installed the RC 114.1.0 build from the PlayStore on a Huawei MediaPad M2 (Android 5.1.1) tablet, and the app remained stable.

Can you please confirm the 114.1.0 version is also available for you? In the meantime, I will close this ticket as duplicate of #1835231 but feel free to reach out should the issue still occur.

This is good news. I was able to find Fx in the Play Store and install it. I'm running again. A can once again abandon the Chromium junk!
