Hey Calixte, does this crash look familiar to you?
Looks like it interacts with GeckoViewContentChannel.OpenContentStream calling ContentInputStream.isReadable: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/10f46c9c638e0e5935ed9fa12aadc9d0d4e71ade/mobile/android/components/geckoview/GeckoViewContentChannel.cpp#30
Any idea why it might be causing a createExceptionOrNull crash?

Is this related to or fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1881927?

[Calixte Denizet (:calixte)]

:calu, it's very likely unrelated and it isn't fixed by the mentioned patch.
According to the docs:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentResolver#openAssetFileDescriptor(android.net.Uri,%20java.lang.String)
openAssetFileDescriptor is supposed to throw a FileNotFoundException which is caught under IOException.
I'd say that the content provider (which is an other app) is failing to provide the queried file.
So an easy fix would be to just catch IllegalStateException:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/geckoview/src/main/java/org/mozilla/geckoview/ContentInputStream.java#149
:olivia, what do you think about adding IllegalStateException to list of the potential exception types ? or about just catching Exception to avoid any other future issues ?

Thanks for looking into this!

:olivia, what do you think about adding IllegalStateException to list of the potential exception types ? or about just catching Exception to avoid any other future issues ?

I like both ideas! Just catching Exception seems reasonable to me, since it seems like there is a lot of potentially different exceptions and we don't have any branching behavior based on exception.
