[Robert Bartlensky [:rbartlensky]]

I am not sure if 2, 5, and 7 are correct or not, could someone help me with figuring that out?

Comment 2

[Robert Bartlensky [:rbartlensky]]

I assume 2 is a false positive, but what about 4? Should I ignore that one as well?

Comment 3

[Andi-Bogdan Postelnicu [:andi]]

Sebastian what do you think about these?

Comment 4

[Eugen Sawin [:esawin]]

We could add a null check for #5, but we would never reach this callback with matchedList being null [1].

4 is a false positive, though you can probably add `@NonNull` to the `Throwable e` argument to clear the warning.

2 and 7 can technically happen, but I don't think we have seen them in practice.

Clearing NI: Changes here are up to the GeckoView team.

Comment 7

[Robert Bartlensky [:rbartlensky]]

This fixes some errors reported by infer on GeckoView that are not related to threading.

status-firefox62=wontfix because we don't need to uplift these fixes to GV 62 Beta.
