Attached file bug1106347-logcat.txt
Here is the logcat from just before the crash
This crash is currently #18 on Fx34. I don't see it on Fx35 though, but that could be population size.

Giovanni - Do you have any custom search engines installed? Does the crash happen if you pan through the History pane?

Richard - The stack says LocalBrowserDB.getFaviconForUrl(LocalBrowserDB.java:1117), but line 1117 is not in getFaviconForUrl using the Fx34 source. getFaviconForUrl does have a call to getBlob() but it's wrapped in a try/catch.

> Giovanni - Do you have any custom search engines installed? 
No. I switched the default to Google (if that helps)

>Does the crash happen if you pan through the History pane?
I just tried scrolling down a bit in the History pane and it crashed, it's reproducible every time I try.

It's only a try-finally, but it explicitly makes sure that moveToFirst() returns true, which means the cursor isn't empty.

The only reason I have found for this occurring is if the blob being retrieved is more than 1MB:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12716859/retrieve-large-blob-from-android-sqlite-database

We should limit the size of stored icons, add a catch here, and in that catch we should try to discard the over-sized icon.

This should do the trick. Untested, but.

Don't die when retrieving over-large favicons from the database. v1

Is the DB connection in a read-only state here, since we only used a query? Will using the delete cause a problem or am I over-thinking it?

It's a good question. We're safe for three reasons:

* In all but very exceptional situations, read-only sqlite connections in Android are actually read-write.

* When BrowserProvider handles the delete, it'll retrieve a writable database connection:


    public int deleteInTransaction(Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) {
        trace("Calling delete in transaction on URI: " + uri);
        final SQLiteDatabase db = getWritableDatabase(uri);


That getWD call can (theoretically) fail if the DB is in a read-only state and the connection can't be exchanged/upgraded for a writable one. If so, the delete will fail, but we won't fall over.

* If we *are* going to crash here, then we'd also crash as soon as the user did anything that would cause a write -- saving a favicon for a new page, writing a history visit, pruning history on exit, etc.

We can consider this for beta after further verification and bake.
I moved to Nightly since I filed this bug and I haven't seen the crash any more. Although, I can't reproduce it in Firefox 34 either now, so it could be just bad luck.
Flags: needinfo?(agi.novanta)
Please nominate for beta uplift before Mon Dec 22 so we can consider this.

I see no crashes with this signature in 36 or 37 within the last 7 days.

On the other hand, I see no crashes with this signature in 36.0a2 at all, so I don't know how useful that is!

Don't die when retrieving over-large favicons from the database. v1

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]:
  None. Android limitation.

[User impact if declined]:
  Frequent crashes if a large favicon somehow has made it into the DB.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TBPL]:
  None.

[Risks and why]:
  Relatively low risk. See earlier Aurora approval. Requesting approval for Beta because historically this has been a high-volume crash, and it's nasty if you're affected; we don't see any crashes right now on Aurora, but that's very likely just due to limited user base.
 
[String/UUID change made/needed]:
  None.
