636161 - places.sqlite-wal is not removed on Fennec exit with Quit Fennec add-on

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #625981 +++

When I exit Fennec (with the "Quit Fennec" add-on or control-Q/menu-Q shortcut), the cookies.sqlite-wal file is deleted, but the places.sqlite-wal file is not deleted.  This happens whether Firefox Sync is enabled or not.

A debug build should print out warning about unfinalized statements when trying to close a connection, anything there?

No, I don't see any such warning.

Also, I was wrong in comment 0.  This bug happens only when closing Fennec using the "Quit Fennec" add-on, which calls window.close().   Using control-Q or other methods of closing Fennec does not trigger the bug.

(On most Android devices, the only ways to exit Fennec are with the add-on, or by killing the process.  As expected, both places.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-wal remain after the process is killed.)

Removing blocking nomination, since this happens only with an add-on.

I guess if that causes a different order of shutdown or missing notifications (we rely on profile-before-change, profile-change-teardown and xpcom-shutdown for proper shutdown.
