Attachment: skia-e10s-bug.png

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0

1/ Have a prefs.js file with skia backend activated:

user_pref("gfx.content.azure.backends", "skia");

2/ launch Nightly.

Expected result:
Firefox launches with a UI

Actual result:
No rendering of chrome or content area (see screenshot)

If you remove the user_pref("gfx.content.azure.backends", "skia"); line, things are back to normal

I imagine this is a duplicate of bug 1009722 (bug 996611.)

I was under the impression that skia worked with e10s disabled when I tracked this. Milan just informed me that that is not the case, so I'm -'ing this.

This is not an issue anymore (see bug 1009722 comment 16)
