This seems to have started with build 20181128100103.
These crashes appear to be all happening with Jelly Bean, and the crashes are also present on 64b15 - so perhaps not a regression in nightly. All of the crashes have Moz Crash Reason MOZ_CRASH(JNI exception). Comments unfortunately don't appear to be very useful.

Actual results: crash
Expected: view website
Keywords: reproducible
Regression range is pre 2018-11-27. The 2018-11-28 build must have contained a fix for the crash reporter or Firefox for Android. Before this the behavior is to repeatedly crash. Flashing between the home screen and a white screen from Nightly.

Not much in the regression range. Maybe Bug 1449567? Snorp you reviewed it thoughts if this could be the issue. Will continue tomorrow if needed. Though this regression is tedious to debug due to phone issues. One phone cannot adb install via mozregression (manual command line is fine) and the other cannot see the WiFi networks in the office.

Bug 1504780 fixed an issue with the crash reporter in the 2018-11-28 nightly build (65.0a1) and in 64.0b15, which seems to match comment 3.
This crash might be a regression from prefersReducedMotion bug 1505897.
Blocks: 1505897

Re-ran the regression range and this makes a lot more sense.

Any fix for this short of disabling the feature for Android 4.1 devices?
Flags: needinfo?(hikezoe)
It seems Settings.Global which is used for the feature was introduced on Android 4.2.
And bug 1510611 fixed this crash?  If not, we need to bail out from prefersReducedMotion() on Android 4.1 devices.
Anyway, taking now.  I think I have an Android 4.1 device somewhere, so I can check it.

I don't know if bug 1510611 fixes the issue. I can check tomorrow's build when it is included as part of the next Nightly.
Confirmed on an Android 4.1.2 device that bug 1510611 didn't fix the crash, we need to bail out there.

I couldn't add additional comments for the question about automated tests in the uplift request editor.

(In reply to Hiroyuki Ikezoe (:hiro) from comment #14)
> Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes

To be precise, we have automated tests but we don't run them on Android 4.1 or older devices on our CIs unfortunately.
If this crash affects 64, we should also uplift the fix to GECKOVIEW_64_RELBRANCH.

fix a crash on older android, approved for 65.0b5 and 64.0.1

AFAIK we'll merge from release to gv64 so clearing that flag.

BTW should the @RequiresApi annotation from bug 1510611 be removed for this function now that it includes this guard?
Flags: needinfo?(hikezoe)
No, I don't think so.  It seems to be just for lint tools.

Unfortunately, we don't have devices with Android 4.1 and we performed a smoke on Lenovo A536(Android 4.4.2) and visit also bc.com/news with no success in reproducing the crash.
Tested on 65.0b5 with Lenovo A536 (Android 4.4.2) and Prestigio Grace X5 (Android 4.4.2) and the app didn't crash when we visit bbc.com/news and opened/closed articles.

Marking the bug VERIFIED based on comment 27 and comment 28 and on the fact that we didn't find any crash on 64.0.2 with Lenovo A536 (Android 4.4.2).
