Details

The "oops" dialog doesn't appear, and it becomes impossible to pan left or right on the current tab. If I turn my phone, I can sometimes see the tab bar, but the tabs won't close. I once got access to the JS console, and it was filled with messages about browser.getRootView being undefined.
Can you offer a way to reproduce a geolocation based crash, Josh?
Severity: normal → major
Priority: -- → P2
Also, what platforms are you seeing this crash on? Only desktop linux?
This is on my galaxy s. I've been manually fuzz testing to see what happens when we crash, so I was just triggering a content crash via crashme-new.xpi or from a shell.
