On the current (August 11) Nightly, if GL Layers are enabled, Fennec always crashes on startup.

Regression range:
The crash occurs with http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/93328efd3d77
but not with http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/aee7dcfde223
We need to find the specific changeset.

A wild guess might be the changes for Bug 648484.

Yes, this is indeed caused by one of the changes for Bug 648484. I'm working on finding which one.
Depends on: 648484
This is bad.  What's the crash?
It turns out that as result of the changes to the interface of GetLayerManager in part 3 of bug 648484, calls in nsWindow.cpp to GetLayerManager(nsnull) were going to nsBaseWidget::GetLayerManager instead of nsWindow::GetLayerManager as defined in nsWindow.cpp. As a result, sGLContext in nsWindow.cpp was never initialized, and we crashed when attempting to dereference it in nsWindow::OnDraw.

Patch on its way.
This makes the interface of GetLayerManager on Android consistent with the changes introduced in Bug 648484.
