702401 - nightly crashing on start up after firmware update

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 702365

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Allison Naaktgeboren :ally]

I installed the native nightly today on an asus tablet (the ones we gave out at all hands) after a factory reset, opened fennec, & toyed with it. Shortly after, the system did a forced firmware update (did not allow me to postpone) and rebooted. Now nightly crashes on start up consistently. There are no other instances of ffx/fennec running on the device.

Please let me know what other data or logs I can assist with.

Does opening the Apps list > Settings > Applications > Manage Application > Nightly > and press Clear cache allow Firefox nightly to start?

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

adb logcat would be useful.

It does in my case. In my case a cold start of Firefox nightly will crash until I clear the cache. After I clear the cache nightly will start successfully. If I then kill the process I must again clear the cache before nightly will start.

I'm running nightly on an HTC Desire with Android 2.2.

lmandel, would it be possible to get a logcat?

Once you install the sdk (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html), you can use the ddms (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debugging/ddms.html) to get the logcat.

Here's the relevant portion of my logcat. Let me know if you need any other details.
