Attachment: Screenshot of the page not loading

Fennec cannot access any websites on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 running CM12 since this changeset: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/84163eb4992b.

All the logcat gives me is this:
12-28 22:56:01.962 8430-8430/org.mozilla.fennec_alex D/Telemetry: SendUIEvent: event = loadurl.1 method = griditem timestamp = 12314959 extras = 0

I get this issue when clicking on websites from the suggested sites list and also if I enter a website url into the address bar.  But, it is not a connection issue because search suggestions work fine.

Alex, why you think bug 1155730 caused this? Did you look for regression range?

Yes, I did.  I also checked manually, the changeset right before this one worked for me.

Ok, thanks.
Any chance you could try backing out the changes that bug did to the android session store?
The mobile/android/components/SessionStore.js part.

(and I think I need to backout bug 1155730 then, but I don't have access to Android devices, so I rely on our testing to be good enough, and apparently it isn't.)

Actually, I just did an hg pull and it seems to be fixed in the latest build ... weird.  I'm gonna set this to worksforme then.

Alex, if you're doing artifact builds, it's possible the pre-built C++ package didn't line up with the Java front-end code and caused the pages not to load. I've had similar issues when I pull and forgot to rebuild the C++ when not using artifact builds. It seems it silently fails by not loading pages rather than crash.
