I confirm this fixes the issue for me.

Comment 3

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

More info: this is a Samsung Galaxy S2 with the stock Samsung firmware. Fresh compile and install of Fennec.

Comment 4

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

i can't reproduce this crash on samsung galaxy S2, Fx9 beta 5 build.  Running a clean profile, i can open firefox, visit a youtube page, and launch the youtube player and play videos.  no crash.

gcp, can you share more details on your repro steps so i can reproduce?

Comment 5

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

Not sure why version was set to 9 here? This was a XUL build from (approximately):
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/658fad825c36

There are no steps to reproduce, the crash is immediately after launch.

Naoki, why did you mark this as reproducible? Have you been able to reproduce it?

Comment 8

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

I think I marked this bug reproducible by mistake.  I was looking at multiple crashing bugs during this time.

Comment 9

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

Is it clear that beta is affected at this point?

Yes.

A second shortcut is created on installation Firefox Beta, which when invoked causes this NPE.

We've now had a reproduction in 708574. Please land on aurora and beta. We'll be re-spinning beta 5 mobile this morning for this bug. Please make sure to land on the beta 5 branch of beta, as well as default/tip. Thanks!
