Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Attachment: Fennec's Data size

Build id : Mozilla/5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:2.2a1pre)Gecko/20110401
Firefox/4.2a1pre Fennec /4.1a1pre
Device: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
OS: Android 2.1 update 1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec App
2. Connect to Sync with a valid account
3. Tap on Details > Sync Now
4. Wait until Sync is completed
5. Tap Clear button

Expected result:
After step 5, all Fennec's Data will be erased and its size is restored to 14 Mb.

Actual result:
Fennec's Data remains on the device internal memory, even if Clear button is tapped. 

Note:
If I repeat all steps at least twice, the Fennec's Data size will increase until device runs out of free memory.

Attachment: data after sync

If I connect my device to a large sync account, after I tap on Sync Now the "Last update" remains "in progress..." for a very long time, data for Fennec is over 1GB and the operating system is very slow because of the low memory.
