This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-2b2f0743-781d-4e2a-9891-b38132161020.
=============================================================

This was the top Android crash on the 10-20 Nightly, but it is all from a single install time. I only see 29 crashes like this across all version, but it looked like it might be easy to fix.

Ignoring the crash reports from ancient Fennec versions, there were 26 crash reports from Fennec 58.0.2 on at least four different devices over the last week.

Why doesn't Fennec have the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission here? The crashing function (getLastKnownLocation) has an annotation to @SuppressLint("MissingPermission"), so some lint warned us about this problem. Jim added this code in bug 1369107 with a comment saying "Permissions are explicitly checked when requesting content permission."

Closing because no crashes reported for 12 weeks.
