I assume this is a regression from bug 1304688: When pressing the hardware volume down button the tab history panel shows up (Nexus 6P, Android 7.0).

Yes.

And I realise now that I forgot to test that it's the back key that's being pressed in onKeyDown() : /.

I filed Bug 1307836 to add tests for this, but I'm not sure how feasible adding tests actually is (we'd need to setup emulators for multiple android versions...).

With my patch (see next comment), I've confirmed that both on an Android 7 (N) and an Android 4.4 device:
- Single press back button works as expected
- Long press shows history
- Pressing volume up / down dowsn't show history
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Blocks: 1307836
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Regression introduced in Bug 1304688, affects all Android 7 devices: we'll show the history panel for all button presses (primarily volume down/up).

Bug 1307779 - Only start long-press timer for back button

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: Bug 1304688 introduced this regression, while trying to work around an Android 7 system bug.
[User impact if declined]: Only on Android 7: pressing volume up/down (or any other hardware button other than the back button) results in the tab-history panel being shown after a ~3s delay.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: manual testing on nightly, on both older (Android <=6) and newer (Android 7) devices.
[Risks and why]: Low risk: an additional condition has been added to the test for starting the backpress timer, this ensures that we only start the timer for the back button (but not other buttons).
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none.
