579952 - Firefox Home initial sync crashes if viewing Settings tab

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

[[:Cww]]

From the forums:

Upon installation on my 3G, I set up my user info(no uppercase or symbols as in other threads), and was flipping through the various screens to have a look around, eventually leaving the app on the Settings tab. After several minutes of no visible progress, it crashed out and had no data when I relaunched. I've replicated the crashing behavior several times. On one occasion, some(but not all) data was downloaded.

If the app is left on the first screen, the initial sync seems to work fine. I haven't tried other screens.

The crashing doesn't seem to recur on later syncs.

Moving FFHome-related bugs to new component -> Firefox Home

We need steps to reproduce and also details like number of bookmarks as it's on a 3G.

The Firefox Home project has been retired, and Mozilla will no longer invest in future work on this project [1]. All bugs related to Firefox Home are being mass resolved.

For those interested in continuing work on this app, the source code for Firefox Home is available on Github [2].
