[Affected versions]: - Firefox 47 beta 5 - latest Developer Edition 48.0a2 - latest Nightly 49.0a1 [Unaffected versions]: - Firefox 46.0.1 [Affected platforms]: - Mac OS X 10.10.5 (although I did not reproduce on another machine running 10.11.2 and 10.10.4) - Windows 7 64-bit (unable to reproduce on Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit) [Steps to reproduce]: 1. Run Firefox for the first time (or simply remove the profiles folder: On Windows - %appdata%\Mozilla; On Mac - Library\Application Support\Firefox; On Linux - /home/user/.mozilla) 2. Go to "Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Import Data from Another Browser 3. Make sure Chrome is not running 4. Import data from Chrome [Expected result]: - Bookmarks are successfully imported [Actual result]: - Bookmarks are not imported. Folder 'Imported from Chrome' is empty. [Regression range]: - I am unable to determine a regression range using mozregression but: Mac OS X 10.10.5 - Firefox 47 beta 4 is not affected by this, so it's something between 47 beta 4 and beta 5. Windows 7 64-bit - Firefox 46.0 RC build 5 is not affected, all 47 betas are affected. [Additional notes]: - Console output: [Exception...

Marco, can you comment on the places exception? It looks like the insertion of the bookmarks is just slow... Bogdan, can you try creating a clean chrome profile and importing that, and seeing if that succeeds? I'm wondering if this is just correlated with the size of the chrome profile, which will make this tricky to reproduce, debug and fix...

The malformed uri error should be benign, it comes from the history migrator, we should just continue. The Transaction timeout error indicates a transaction didn't resolve/reject its promise after 2 minutes. That usually indicates either a very very large transaction, or someone forgot to resolve/reject a promise, or there is indented transactions, or something is wrong here http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/modules/Sqlite.jsm#640 The 2 minutes time there has been mostly a guess, there should be no problem in increasing it if we figure it's too small. In this case, I'd expect we have a lot of tiny transactions, not a big one, and each of them should have 2 minutes timeout. I'm not sure how it could take so much time, unless the disk is so busy to blocks everything for 2 minutes. The number of bookmarks may matter, would be nice to have a large Chrome db to be able to reproduce. Though I'm not sure why 46 to 47 should make a difference

Could it be related to this fix we uplifted in 47.0b5? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1271280
Tracked as blocking since it's a critical recent regression.

This is happening on startup or while the browser is (and stays) running, so no, I don't think that's related. (In reply to Ritu Kothari (:ritu) from comment #5) > Tracked as blocking since it's a critical recent regression. We can track this, but without conclusive STR (comment #0 mentions some builds on some OSes are affected, but the same builds are broken/working on others, and does not distinguish why that would be) it is practically impossible that we're going to get this fixed. This really really needs more detailed steps to reproduce.

I'm wondering if this is just correlated with the > size of the chrome profile, which will make this tricky to reproduce, debug > and fix... I have no problem importing from a clean Chrome profile. I even made like 800 bookmarks (my personal profile which I use to reproduce this has 350) and all of them were migrated successfully. I think that it has something to do with Browsing History. If I have all three options selected (on Mac) to migrate Cookies, Browsing History and Bookmarks or Browsing History & Bookmarks the issue will reproduce. If I have only Cookies and Bookmarks selected the issue will not reproduce. Same on the Windows machine that we reproduced, when Browsing History is selected alongside Bookmarks, the issue will reproduce. I also need to mention that the import Wizard will be stuck for a longer time then usual when importing Bookmarks (but only when Browsing History is checked as well). Let me know if I can help further on.

Bogdan, would you be comfortable with sharing the history from the broken profile with Marco and me via email? (not sure if you use it regularly or if anything private is in it...)

OK, if history is involved, this is likely the same as bug 1249008, and I'm not sure there's a real regression here. The "solution" is explained at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249008#c9, we need to wait for updatePlaces to be complete before proceeding, by using its handleCompletion callback.

Summary: Firefox fails to import bookmarks from Chrome → Firefox fails to import bookmarks from Chrome when it also tries to import a large history
Assignee | ||
Comment 12•8 years ago
|

I wonder if, in a separate bug, we should limit history import to only visits in the last N days. Importing history takes quite some time... While things like bug 1209027 may help us here, we could still want a limit.

I did a manual migration and verified contests were migrated. Strange I didn't notice the promise problem, I will do another testing round.
This broke marionette tests, backed out in https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/rev/cb4081774f86 https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=9471037&repo=fx-team

I am trying to look at the failure, that I can reproduce locally, but the error message is puzzling and I'm not sure exactly what is failing. So far I only fixed a couple nits in the test, but I'm sort of blocked on what is exactly failing... I hope Henrik can help me here.

I wrote the test in question. :-) The error message just means that the browser doesn't start and so marionette does not get connected up to the browser after the restart. In this case, it seems the migration process gets hung on something, and never completes. I don't know what/why. I tried to debug late last night but didn't get any further. You can see this happening locally as the migration results dialog gets stuck with "other data" still in bold (so it's not been migrated (yet), or at least the dialog doesn't know about it).

(In reply to Henrik Skupin (:whimboo) from comment #20) > Marco, this is an intermittent issue. Simply retrigger the test via TH and > hopefully it will work this time. No, this particular test went perma-orange with this failure message after the commit, and it got fixed when we backed it out again. It'd be useful if we had screenshots for these failures, it'd make it easier to distinguish *why* marionette failed to reconnect to the browser...

Marionette is creating screenshots but they are not uploaded to Treeherder. If that test would be part of the firefox-ui-test suite, you would get screenshots like the HTML report for that job: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-aurora&filter-searchStr=Firefox%20UI&filter-tier=2&filter-tier=3&selectedJob=2653042 If you want to keep using the base Marionette framework you might want to file a bug to get screenshots added.

But yes, its only linux64 right now. Anyway, a discussion point for another place. Regarding this failure here it would be good to have bug 1275013 fixed which would give us definitely a better picture of what's going on.

ok here is the problems: 1. we are doing a splice while walking an array. Due to time shifting this became visible (by making the test timing out on otherdata). Fixed by using a Set (was already planned). 2. the Marionette test when ran locally on Win 10 also open a mozilla.org page, and that may set a cookie we don't expect. 3. the Marionette timeout when waiting for a window is too short (60 seconds) and caused the test to fail for me permanently. I doubled that timeout to 120s and that fixed my local problem. I'm not going to fix this here, hope to fix it in a follow-up and that I can still land before that (Try will tell).

In future it may be other pages, or other features, we can't keep up with prefs.

A test in the tier-1 test suite should not open a remote page. Usually this should cause a crash but Marionette doesn't handle the appropriate env variable yet (bug 1272255).

Hi Marco, do you think this is safe to uplift to Fx47 this late in the cycle? We enter RC week on Monday. This seems like a recent and critical regression that might meet the uplift bar as such.

Hi Bogdan, could you please test this fix on the latest Nightly build? This will help us decide whether this is something that ought to be uplifted during RC week or not.

I used the latest Nightly build and the migration was successfully, so I can't reproduce this issue anymore. Though I noticed that the Import Wizard is acting a bit funny. On step 1 it is shown that 'Bookmarks' are imported, on step 2 'Browsing History', on step 3 it stays like this for 1 minute (for my profile), on step 4 the import is done. Is this the correct display here? The behavior before this fix was -Cookies->Browsing History->Bookmarks exactly in the order displayed by Import wizard. Also I noticed that during the migration the browser becomes unusable, but this is not a recent regression, I saw this on 44.0.2 as well. After the migration is completed, the browser becomes usable again. I don't have logged bugs on this potential issues yet, waiting for other opinions.

But I assume cookies are still properly imported, did you check that? I suspect it's due to the fact cookies and history start at the same time and history wins the race at updating the ui, from that point on the main-thread is likely quite busy keeping up with history and bookmarks notifications, that could explain the long step 3. The UX here is not that great. But if everything is properly migrated, we should not block on just this, it has always been quite horrible. The fact before it was happening in order was probably "by luck" since we never had a sequential order here, all the migrators were starting at the same time (and now some is concurrent, some is sequential). > Also I noticed that during the migration the browser becomes unusable, but > this is not a recent regression, I saw this on 44.0.2 as well. After the > migration is completed, the browser becomes usable again. I think this is just due to the I/O hit we take. It may improve once we introduce new perf fixes for history inserts (we are working on those). To answer the uplift question, if QA can verify cookies are properly imported, even if the UI acts "strangely" I think this is OK to uplift.

Chrome started using encrypted cookies some time ago, and we don't yet support decrypting them, so that's expected (Bug 1163165, Bug 1163166, Bug 1163167). So yes, I think we can uplift.
