It works for me. Maybe I don't understand. What do you mean when you say "it goes to kickstart?" and "you have to restart emu". You mean you have to press select to open the menu and press R to reset? That is how it is designed, yes.
I can try to fix the problem once I see it. Maybe can you tell me in a few steps how exactly to reproduce the problem? Is the problem limited only to Amiga Forever roms?
Make sure you don't have "kick.rom" (without a number) present.
Note many roms are bad or hacks anyway and shouldn’t be used, see here:

EDIT2: For me, Cloanto roms kick13, kick20 and kick31 work just fine.
I just tested this with a) my Amiga Forever version 2.0 roms and b) my Amiga Forever Essentials Android roms, including the respecitve rom.key. kick13, kick20, and kick31 work. Only kick12 doesn't work, it gives me a yellow screen on boot.
But here is the weird thing: According to
https://cloanto.com/amiga/roms/ my Cloanto kick12.rom should be the same (same MD5) as my working kick12 rom that I normally use. Clearly they are not the same, because my working rom is 256 kb (as it should be), and the the Cloanto kick12 is 512 kb (too large). Also the Cloanto one gives me a yellow screen on boot.
Why does Cloanto ship a rom that is too large in their official distribution? They list the size on their own webpage as 256 kB!

Yet, on my official Cloanto CDRom, the file is 512 kB. Incredible.
The good news is that kick12 is not really needed.
Also, I can see on
https://cloanto.com/amiga/roms/ that Cloanto distributed a "hacked" kick31 rom in all Amiga Forever versions between 3.0 and 5.0 including 5.0. It all sounds a bit shady to me.
