Alison, can you take a look at this please?

This should have worked at some point. Can we find the last release where it worked?

[:gerard-majax]

This used to work properly, I have been using it successfully a couple of weeks/months ago. And before 2.2, during 2.2 and during 2.5. I'm not sure it's our fault?

Picking works

Comment 7

[:gerard-majax]

Sharing to Twitter and Lutim apps works. I'm wondering if it's not Facebook that broke something?

Comment 8

[:gerard-majax]

Had a look at all the obfuscated source code available from the homepage of the Facebook app, I cannot find any call to mozSetMessageHandler() that is needed to handle the share activity.

Attachment: debug log of SystemMessageManager

So I have enabled debug in SytemMessageManager component, and shared from Gallery to:
 - Lutim
 - Twitter
 - Facebook

We clearly see that the first two apps do add a system message handler for "activity" which is the way for the app to get notified that sharing is happening.

Now, when sharing to Facebook, there is no such call happening. We need to make sure that the breakage is not on their side ...

Lindsay, the "share from gallery to facebook" feature is broken. Debugging that shows the Facebook app is not registering for the handler it should to pick that event. This used to work in the past. Can you get in touch with Facebook so they check the feature and fixit? Thanks!
