1154851 - Fennec used with Gecko-Profiler-Addon crashes while trying to profile

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1178961

(Core :: Gecko Profiler, defect)

Description

[Lee Salzman [:lsalzman]]

Attachment: A bunch of different random backtraces from Fennec crashes collected via JimDB

Using the Gecko-Profiler-Addon, after a connection, it usually causes a crash to occur when trying to browse in Fennec, or when trying to analyze. Site doesn't appear to matter.

Tested on Fennec 40.0a1 (2015-04-15) on Android 4.4.2 (BLU Studio G).

Tested same Fennec build on a Nexus phone with Lollipop, and there were no crashes. Problem appears confined to either my phone or the version of KitKat which is on the phone.

Attachment: Another backtrace

I am also experiencing crashes every time I hit "analyse". Although I get a different looking backtrace than any that Lee attached, and this does occur for me on a Nexus 5 running Lollypop, so it might have a different root cause than for Lee.

I've tracked down the source of my crash to this change:

changeset:   249683:d1d45ce7cbf5
user:        Benoit Girard <[e-mail]>
date:        Thu Jun 18 01:05:42 2015 -0400
summary:     Bug 1172186 - Make the profiler build standalone. r=mstange

So it's definitely a different issue than Lee was experiencing.

And my problem is a duplicate of 1178961 which is now fixed. I'm not good enough at searching.

Closing as a dupe of bug 1178961 like you mentioned; thanks!
