1422232 - Single locale build of Firefox for Android does not work

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Krasnaya Ploshchad’]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 5.1.1; Mobile; rv:57.0) Gecko/57.0 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171129020910

Steps to reproduce:

If I installed Firefox with single language on Android, it will quit after several seconds. But if I installed Firefox with multiple language on Android, it works as expected.

1. Download Firefox from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/57.0.1/android-api-16/zh-CN/
2. Download Firefox from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/57.0.1/android-api-16/multi/

I tested Fx 58.01 on Android, both en-US and multi locales works well.

Are you still seeing the issue?

Note that we're going to deprecate (remove) single locale builds for Android in bug 1468368, which I assume will make this a WONTFIX.

I'm no longer seeing this issue since 58.0, because Firefox for Android only providing multilanguage and English-only version starting from 58.0.
