1895427 - Firefox crashing after using browsertime. Can't open firefox release at all anymore

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1895432

(Fenix :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Marc Leclair [:mleclair]]

Not sure if anyone has access to protected data on crash-stats but using browsertime broke my firefox on my pixel 6a (uuid on crash-stat is: 27d03298-1a12-4622-b1ba-d5ca70240507). I'd also like to point out that this doesn't happen with chrome. I guess this could be a Geckodriver / Browsertime issue as well but my main issue right now is that Firefox just can't be opened on my pixel.

Steps to reproduce

1. Installed my local firefox and ran browsertime -b firefox --android --firefox.android.package org.mozilla.fenix --firefox.android.activity org.mozilla.firefox.App --android test.mjs -n 1 --maxLoadTime 60000 --pageCompleteCheck 'return true;' --firefox.geckodriverArgs="--android-storage" --firefox.geckodriverArgs="app" (doing a simple browsertime -b firefox --android http://www.sitespeed.io leads to the same as well)
2. Wait for it to fail (will open and crash).
3. at this point, I can't open firefox anymore. Sometimes the process stays alive ( I can see the logs trying to restart), sometimes not.
4. I uninstalled and reinstalled the play store version. Still can't launch it (this time manually).

Note: I did do the clear cache / restart the phone.

Expected behavior

Uninstalling and reinstalling should ultimately fix my crash (not even sure what the crash is).

Device information

• Firefox version: 125.3.0 <- This was the playstore version. It happened with my local development branch as well with ./gradlew installFenixRelease
• Android device model: Pixel 6a (happens with s21 fe as well)
• Android OS version: Tried on 11,12 and 13. All crashed (although I weirdly couldn't send it to crash stat before. I got this one ultimately -- and luckily)

Any additional information?

I tried different things:

uninstalling -> restarting the phone -> reinstalling -> still crashes
uninstalling -> restarting the phone -> reinstalling through gradle -> still crashes

I'm drawing blanks at what else I could do
