925965 - Tablet: NPE Crash on Nightly and Aurora when opening downloaded Aurora apk

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

Attachment: aurora-apk.log

Attempting to open the downloaded Aurora apk causes a crash on Nightly and Aurora builds. I'm not sure why this is only on table (Asus Transformer running Android 4.0.3).

STR:
1. Visit Aurora download page, select "Mobile", start download.
2. When download has completed, open from notifications tray.

Expected:
Download opens.

Actual:
Download opens as Android installer pop-up, but notification of Nightly crash also pops up.

The Aurora download page has been having some problems of late, so this is probably partially caused by whatever apk it's serving, but we should still fail gracefully.
