running FF my ipad overheated

That was likely an application issue vs. overheat then. If you're able to catch it before it completely kills the device (Notice it running hot, battery life draining extremely fast) you can kill all running applications by double clicking the home button and swipe up on all the applications.

I use the "Storm" weather app, and they released an update a couple months ago that would kill my phone every other day. I stopped using until their next update and problem solved.

You can also try a hard reset if you catch it.. Hold both the home button and power button for 20 seconds (or until you see the Apple logo). This doesn't erase anything, just reboots.

I also use Storm (love that app - wish they'd aviationize it just a little more). That happened to me as well. I'd pick up my phone off the desk and it would be oddly warm. It hasn't happened in a while. Interesting to know that may have been the cause.
