Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1567341

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Android, defect)

Description

Please see the following try push: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&collapsedPushes=511147%2C509985%2C511151&selectedJob=284032628&revision=0c7c19c3b79400b49893c9b97d0da495c49af817

This is symptomatically similar (same) to bug 1545439, but some (e10s enabled) tests fail permanently with this crash.

Jim, can I ask you to find someone who could look at this bug? Reason we want to fix this reasonably soon is that this blocks re-enabling some e10s networking xpcshell tests for Fenix (tier-1 now).

Thanks.

Hmm, I don't have anyone who works on android. But I bet snorp does.

This looks to be the same as 1567341. We can't do e10s within xpcshell on Android right now, because we have no Dalvik VM there. We need to move xpcshell to be run inside an Android service.
