I think this problem is happening since the update to Android 13: Fennec browser (a privacy-friendly Firefox variant) is regularly crashing while loading a website (for example, a DDG search result). I am not sure if this is a Fairphone issue or a Fennec issue. Does anyone else have this behaviour, especially with other browsers?
Am a maintainer of Fennec F-Droid.
Are you on the latest version 121.0.0?
Are you doing anything specific when it happens?
Are you using any extensions?
Does it happen on certain websites?
Did you make any changes via about:config?
Are you able to reproduce on official Firefox?
Can you provide logs?

Sorry for not anwering sooner
- I am on the newest version
- Addons: ClearURLs, Tampermonkey, uBlock Origin, Dark Reader, Search by Image, Web Archives
- No changes to about:config… I think
- It mainly happens when I open the browser from sleep and search on DuckDuckGo
- Not tested with Firefox yet
- Can I find logs without using ADB?
Quite often this is followed by a crash of the whole system UI.
Stock FPOS or some alternative ROM?
Stock Fairphone Android
I have a very similar setup without problems: FP4 with stock android, Fennec from F-Droid, but a slightly different set of addons (Web Archives, Decentraleyes, Firefox Relay, ClearURLs, uBlock Origin) and I don’t see fennec crashing at all.
Can I find logs without using ADB?
What’s against using adb?
@SkewedZeppelin thanks a lot for maintaining Fennec on F-Droid!
Only that I need to find the time to set-up adb on my laptop and connect.
Of course, as soon as I start debugging, I cannot reproduce the behaviour. The only that happened was that the app crashed when I pressed the home button.

This is common when the device is low on RAM.
That is strange.
Ok, I will do that.
Is it possible to check which apps are using how much RAM?

You can:
- Settings > About > Tap
Build numberseven times > enter password - Settings > System > Developer options > Running services
Please note there is also a Memory screen there, but that one is only a rolling average.
Running services shows the true current usage.
