615351 - about:crashes doesn't (seem to) load properly immediately after startup

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

STR
 (1) Start fennec, with about:home homepage
 (2) Try to load about:crashes

I don't see any minidumps show up in the display, even though I have several that have been submitted.  In the console, I see (transcribed by hand)

Error: uncaught exception:[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIProperties.get]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/crashes.js :: populateReportList :: line 126" data: no]

If I then load any content page (say google.com), *then* retry loading about:crashes, it works fine and the uncaught exception goes away.

This seems to work fine in my desktop/gtk/debug build.  Strange.

crashes.js populateReportList : line 126

> reportsDir = directoryService.get("UAppData", Ci.nsIFile);

Possibly related: bug 541436, since it's the same error code.

love to see this fixed, but fennec doesn't block on it.
