Details

Today's nightly seems to have introduced some regressions around recording and clearing history and visits. This is a bug to track investigation into what's going on. Specifically, observed behaviour: when user opens pages, from Top Sites, history panel, or by typing in URLs, they don't seem to affect top sites, appear in the History panel. Furthermore, looking at the browser.db file, visits aren't recorded and history records aren't created.
Similarly to Bug 1279338, seems to start happening not right away, but after navigating into a downloads page, or settings.
We're recording visits and updating history meta on a background thread (posting a Runnable), and when the buggy behaviour is observed, that Runnable isn't being run. https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/java/org/mozilla/gecko/GeckoApp.java#2854 https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/java/org/mozilla/gecko/GeckoApp.java#2866
