1807413 - Unresponsive black/grey page in page preview after changing to another application for a bit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1812359

(Fenix :: PWA, defect, P5)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/25611.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open link from an application, for instance Telegram
2. Interact with the page for a bit
3. Change to another application via the app switcher menu (immediate 10s back and forth won't trigger the issue but being away for 1min and hopping through more applications makes the issue happen more often)
4. Change the app back to the firefox page preview application
5. Page is now black/grey and unresponsive to scroll, reload button doesn't work and the entire tab is unresponsive (switching to desktop mode does nothing. However find option opens the search bar but writing to it does nothing. Opening the preview page in application (moves the tab to the main app) keeps the tab unresponsive and refresh (or long press force refresh) don't do anything. Typing a new address into the address bar does nothing. The only way to recover is to open the address bar, copy the address, create a new tab and paste the address there. That obviously loses the info that was entered onto the web page.

Expected behaviour

Tab doesn't crash. Reloading works

Actual behaviour

Tab seems to crash.

Github mentions this occurs with both PWAs and custom tabs.
