Details

We were trying to find out why the guardian mobile labs push experiment only targeted chrome recently.  They told us they ran into a browser deadlock when trying to use Crypto in a worker.  We're collecting more details but wanted to get this filed so we had somewhere to put info.

They clarified this was an issue when using it in a ServiceWorker.

What kind of crypto are they using? I can only think of webcrypto, which has been resolved in bug 842818 (landing in 48).

Any updates here?

I believe this was fixed by bug 1281874.  I have not been able to get feedback from the original reporter, though.  Marking closed for now.
