1191294 - Fennec cold start are very long.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Ludovic Hirlimann [:Usul]]

Running Fennec on my Android 4.4.3 HTC One. For the last few weeks (2 or 3) the startup time is awfull ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. This happens after updates or after a phone restart.

When I start fennec in these conditions I see a black screen for long enough that Android asks me if I want to quit fennec because it's not responding.

I've tried clearing some of my disk/cache data , it didn't change athing.

I'll happily provide adb log if told how to get them. This make Fennec nightly close to impossible to use.

Thanks for the report!

If this is an early-stage startup problem, then that's our only option is to install the Android SDK and use adb:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html

`adb logcat -v time > mylog.txt`

then launch Fennec. Hit Ctrl-C when it makes it to the home screen.

Of course after a reboot it loads fast. I'll do it again at the next update.
