562156 - Desktop Fennec E10S Opt builds don't render content

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

1. Build thyself a Desktop Fennec according to: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/e10s
2. Add ac_add_options --enable-tests to the end of that mozconfig.
3. Run the fennec build you have produced.
4. Go to http://www.google.com
5. Go to about:

= Expected =
The two sites in steps 4 and 5 will render

= Actual = 
They do not render at all (you see the checkerboard).

= Note =
Changing the mozconfig used above to enable debug builds (i.e. disable-debug -> enable-debug) gives you a Fennec that renders content.

I also had to comment out the optional compilation performance enhancements to get it to build on my ubuntu box.  I'll attach the mozconfig.

= Changesets =
This build was created with:
* electrolysis tree: 5f2417a777fe
* mobile e10s:       7fbce1943ff8
* dougt's patch q:   38eaa26893d4

Attachment: the mozconfig

I only changed this mozconfig to comment out the performance enhancements (as I couldn't make it out of configure with them in the build) and to add --enable-tests.  The opt version of this builds but doesn't render content.  The debug version of this does.

same changesets, removed those three patches from the patch queue, clobber build with opt mozconfig settings --> still have the problem.
