I use the oe to build ff3.5b4 for armv7.
I put the screenshot in the attachment.
the following is my mozconfig
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2
ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom
ac_add_options --disable-gnomevfs
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2

ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc

ac_add_options --disable-mathml
ac_add_options --disable-jsd
ac_add_options --enable-necko-small-buffers
ac_add_options --disable-necko-disk-cache
ac_add_options --enable-libxul

sounds like some endianness bug in code

does history menu work correctly?

Comment 9

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

i can't confirm phisically because i don't have an arm cpu, but confirming nonetheless because if this happens is bad for cross-platform functionality and mobile.

yes, history menu work well and the bookmark sidebar work well too.

Comment 11

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Do you see anything reported to the error console?

Comment 12

[pangdae]

I can not see any error reported.

Comment 13

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

since you can compile and test on ARM, you could take a look at the selectAsDay() method in toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistory.cpp
Looks like the query we build there does not return anything on your architecture, and i can't see any evidence of platform issues. Maybe, doing some test on code, you could find where we fail.

Comment 14

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

last question: history sidebar has different views: "by last visited", "by most visited", "by date",... are all of them empty?

Comment 15

[pangdae]

all of "by last visited", "by most visited", "by date" are empty anytime.

Comment 16

[pangdae]

I add the option "--enable-debug" to compile firefox3.5b4.
I found the followed error report after open the history sidebar:
JavaScript error: , line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsINavHistoryQueryOptions.sortingMode]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/places/history-panel.js :: searchHistory :: line 94"  data: no]

Comment 17

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

oh. this looks like the same issue Fennec had/has with sortingMode, bug 476903

Comment 18

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

potentially the bug is the same, not duping immediately to be sure we don't lost any case.

Comment 19

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

could you also try Help / Check for Updates and test current RC that should be served to you?

Comment 20

[pangdae]

I use the patch of bug476903,
the history sidebar can work.
Thank you!

Comment 21

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

based on comment 20, i'm going to dupe this, thanks for confirming that works and covers this case. if you should see the problem again, or if final fix for that bug should present any related issue, feel free to reopen the bug.
