1058047 - Crashing causes casting media to restart

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Screencasting, defect)

Description

[Paul [pwd]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140804061222

Steps to reproduce:

1. Cast a video
2. Make Fennec crash (OOM crashes are quite a common thing)
3. Reopen Fennec



Actual results:

Casting video restarts


Expected results:

Casting video should be unaffected.

I'd suggest handling the casting on a different process/activity and thus being exempt from crashes within Fennec.

There's a large number of crash report bugs on file for screencasting. Do you have a crash report ID or logcat here?

While of course I'm happy to post these, the bug is more about crash handling than fixing the crashes themselves.
