1636228 - Crash when enabling "Usage and technical data" option

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Metrics, defect)

Description

[JoKaNi]

Attachment: data_collection1.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open settings -> Data collection -> Activate " Usage and technical data" option

Firefox crashes more often during repeated tests when German is set as the preferred language in Android. After a few attempts (1-3) it works and the option is activated. After deactivating this option and exiting Firefox, there is also the chance that Firefox will crash on the next attempt. But not before Firefox has been closed.
After switching to English, it also crashes often when I try to enable this option for the first time, but not every time.
There is also no problem with disabling this option.

Device: Android 9 on Motorola Moto G6

Actual results:

Firefox crashes (Sorry. Firefox Beta had a problem and crashed).

Expected results:

Collection of "Usage an technical data" should be activated.
