Can you capture and attach a log-cat from your device when you attempt to launch Firefox in Android safe-mode?

Comment 2

[Alwyn Edison Mendonca]

How to do that? Actually while opening browser it crashes soon and says Firefox stopped working. Only 'OK' is the option left for me to choose. In my nexus 4 power button long press 10 seconds bug is remaining since android version 4.3. Somewhere I read moving to android safe mode and whether that bug persists. I forgot the steps what that website told so I opened Firefox and I found this problem.

Ok, I see on my Nexus 7 that applications aren't available. Only system applications are available in Android safe-mode. This is likely to ensure that the user can boot their phone into an environment that is free of third-party software.

To use Firefox you need to get your device out of safe-mode.

Yes. In my phone in safe mode how it shows third party apps?

Well, I guess we shouldn't crash.

We crash in

I rechecked again by moving to safe mode, where in all apps, no third party apps are visible. If we add any shortcuts to home screen, then those apps are available to use in safe mode. I have tried few apps ther like whatsapp and banking apps will works finely, but Firefox, cscanner and cmsecurity were crashing.

If we can't get the FHR CP, I'd be surprised if we could get our others, too.

An easy way to test this out is to comment out the assignment to mHealthRecorder in GeckoApp.onCreate. If bookmarking and history works, then we can narrow the scope of this bug; if not, then this is likely a WONTFIX.

OK.
