Now it is evident as coincident, after few minutes of using Firefox mobile, some apps running constantly in my statusbar always get killed. This never happens with any other browser and I suspect Firefox RAM hunger is guilty. The apps running in my statusbar create a overlay on the current app for smart user inputs (like *SwipePad, Dock4Droid, TaskChanger). Don't know if this is the problem, clash of the UI or Fennec eats to much RAM, so these constantly running apps crash?

Gingerbread 2.3.4. Firefox Mobile 8 + 9

Firefox 8 & 9 use more memory than the newer native Android based
versions. Try using Firefox 11 or 12.

thx, but currently FF 10 Beta is not yet running on my Phone, doesnt even load a page.

Also when you leave Firefox to look up dictionary and come back, all Tabs have to be reloaded. Very bad, no other Android Browser does this...
