738971 - [OOM] Out of memory (?) crash on startup neither caught by breakpad nor android

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Attachment: logcat startup crash

Fennec native trunk 2012-03-23, Android 4.0.3 (stock), Google Nexus S

This bug is pretty similar to bug 711751. I had a Wikipedia page open, so I don't expect it to be bug 736481.

In the last two (?) weeks, often after launching Fennec and opening a page, it crashed without a crash reporter showing up, I landed on the home screen. The next startup seems to be faster than normal.

See attached logcat.

The most interesting snippets are:

This might have been a restore issue after OOM?

OOM crashes on Android are tricky, because the system OOM kills your process, and you don't get a chance to handle it. I don't think there's anything we can do in Breakpad to fix that.
