(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

I downloaded the latest build today from:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-trunk/fennec-2.0a1pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2

(no option to cut+paste from about:, so here is my build info):
Version=2.0a1pre
BuildID=20100714021610
SourceRepository=http://hg.mozilla.org/mobile-browser
SourceStamp=1eb35d99a861

When loading about:config, it doesn't display any errors, but does show what looks to be an accurate thumbnail in the tab strip.  the problem is the browser view window is empty (blank white)

I have checked about:config on Maemo5 device with an gtk build with the following dates: 
-20100727005730
-20100728005450

Config page loads, but I cannot manage to scroll it down properly. The last "Preference" I see is accesibility.tabfocus. When searching for other preferences(from page search dialog), page echoes only 6 of the matching results.

And another thing, be sure to open about:config in the default tab (first tab), since for other tabs the bug is regressive and blank page is displayed

The panning problem is a different bug. No XUL or <iframe>s or scrollable <div>s will pan in content.

Try opening about:config or other system pages in another tab than the default one. See how this action creates another empty tab in background. I was just about to file this problem but I seem to have trouble with bugzilla.
